Abstract: This collection of information is proposed to evaluate a communication campaign that encourages youth to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV. Encouraging youth to be tested for STD/HIV is a major goal of the Division of STD Prevention, as these diseases often show no symptoms, but cause long-term consequences. Because the topic is stigmatized and sensitive, communication campaigns involving STD/HIV are difficult to create and sustain. The GYT: Get Yourself Tested campaign has been sustained for multiple years, and there are indications that it is successful; however, the campaign needs to be formally evaluated to determine if it is effective in reaching the target population, and if its messages are understood and acted upon by the target audience. We propose to do this using an established market-research panel (Knowledge Networks) as the study population, selecting 4,000 participants ages 25 and under. Participants have already consented to participate in survey research for the market-research panel; this survey will be included as part of their annual participation in the firm's survey research.
