Description
Summary:[...]the recent movement in epidemiology in general, towards a focus on social determinants of health conditions and on the historical evolution of those social determinants is also observable in the STD field, and contributes to increased appreciation of evolutionary frameworks. 9 Temporal changes at both the individual and population levels will be influenced greatly by alterations in the social, demographic, cultural, and political context. [...]the phase specific theoretical model 4 describes an ideal typical epidemic course; it is important to elaborate on the model to describe the variations around the ideal typical epidemic course and to identify the determinants and consequences of such variation. 11 Thirdly, the phase specific approach to STD epidemiology suggests a number of important parameters that need to be carefully monitored. 10,
