Behavioural Surveillance Surveys - The Wisdom of Whores

KEY INDICATORS
What follows is a full description of each
of the indicators, arranged according to the
appropriate respondent group. The first
grouping (indicators for adult men and
women) are intended for use with men and
women who are identified as belonging to
occupational groups or sub-populations other
than sex workers, drug users or men who
have sex with men (although there may of
course be some overlap between groups).
Each indicator, along with its denominator
and its numerator, is defined. The relevant
questionnaires and question numbers which
yield the information are listed. The purpose
and interpretation of the indicator is given,
along with its strengths and limitations.
Indicators that are also included in the
MEASURE Evaluation/UNAIDS Guide to the
Monitoring and Evaluation of National AIDS
Programs are also labeled with the number
given to them in that guide.
In this section of the document, the following
acronyms are used:
MSM : men who have sex with men
IDU : injecting drug user
FSW : female sex worker
