Implications for STD Program Operations:

Syphilis Elimination Effort (SEE) Community Mobilization Toolkit is designed to give state and local health departments the tools to reach out and build coalitions and alliances needed to mobilize specific target audiences. Target-specific materials in the kit will increase local awareness, visibility and salience of the syphilis elimination program. It will support efforts to change or modify knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions about syphilis and the syphilis elimination effort; will educate political leaders, health care providers and community leaders, encouraging community involvement and support for the program.

This kit will provide guidance and the necessary tools for involving, mobilizing and sustaining community efforts not only for syphilis, but for a variety of public health issues.
