At A Glance: Recommendations & Appendices

For ease of reference, we have compiled all Program Operations Guidelines (POG) recommendations and a listing of appendices, organized by chapter, in this At-A-Glance section. Page numbers for each section are identified in parentheses for easy cross-referencing to the larger document. It is important that recommendations be viewed within the context of supporting documentation. For this reason, the reader is encouraged to always consult the narrative text and references for each chapter to obtain background and rationale for various recommendations.

The target audience for the POG is public health personnel and other persons involved in managing STD prevention programs.

The purpose of these guidelines is to further STD prevention by providing a resource to assist in the design, implementation, and evaluation of comprehensive STD prevention and control programs. Recommendations stated in these guidelines are meant as a guide for STD program managers and staff. Many recommendations are stated in general terms, indicating particular activities that should be accomplished by all STD prevention programs. Intentionally not indicated in the POG is how a particular task should be accomplished. These decisions, of course, must be decided by state and local program management in accordance with local area needs and resources.

A camera-ready version of the entire POG document is also available on this CD. Anyone wishing to duplicate individual chapters, or the entire document, may download a replica version of the hardcopy by going to Program Guidelines and choosing printable PDF.
