Policies are an important part of public health interventions, including in the area of sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention. Similar to other tools used in public health, policies are often evaluated to determine their usefulness. Therefore, we conducted a nonsystematic review of policy evidence for STD prevention. Our review considers assessments or evaluations of STD prevention-specific policies, health care system policies, and other, broader policies that have the potential to impact STD prevention through social determinants of health. We also describe potential policy opportunity in these areas. It should be noted that we found gaps in policy evidence for some areas; thus, additional research would be useful for public health policy interventions for STD prevention.
政策是公共卫生干预措施的重要组成部分，包括在性传播疾病（STD）预防领域。与公共卫生中使用的其他工具类似，政策通常会经过评估以确定其效用。因此，我们对性传播疾病预防的政策证据进行了非系统性综述。我们的综述考虑了针对性传播疾病预防特定政策、医疗保健系统政策以及其他可能通过健康的社会决定因素影响性传播疾病预防的更广泛政策的评估。我们还描述了这些领域潜在的政策机遇。需要注意的是，我们发现某些领域的政策证据存在空白；因此，更多研究对于性传播疾病预防的公共卫生政策干预将是有益的。
