Overview
The recent introduction of a highly effective vaccine against
human papillomavirus (HPV) exposed the need for population-based
surveillance of HPV-related diseases.
In 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
funded a collaboration between the California Emerging Infections
Program (CEIP) and the California Department of Public Health
(CDPH) STD Control Branch to develop a comprehensive plan to
conduct surveillance of cervical cancer precursor lesions including
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3 and adenocarcinoma
in situ (AIS).
The pilot phase of this project will be conducted in Alameda
County.
Purpose
• To determine the burden of CIN 2/3 and AIS in Alameda
County and monitor trends in incidence,
• Conduct enhanced surveillance and HPV testing for a
subset of cases, and
• Explore the development of infrastructure for statewide
surveillance to evaluate the impact of the HPV vaccine including
disease surveillance, immunization registry, and behavioral
surveillance.
Human
Subject Protection
