A Disease Intervention Specialist (DIS) Level 1 is a public health official responsible for the investigation in the spread of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). DIS 1s investigate, reported, suspected, and potential cases of STIs, like gonorrhea and chlamydia. DIS 1s additionally provide partner services and medial or social referrals to community partners based on patient needs.
Investigative actions include interviewing those infected with or suspected to be infected with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, analyzing case and disease information, interacting with health care providers and other medical staff who support care efforts, conducting record searches for medical information, locating information, or partner information, contacting clients by phone and/or in person, and documenting investigative actions on forms or in databases required by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and/or CDC. Interviews conducted by DIS 1s are for the purpose of providing health education, disease intervention, and identifying sexual partners for partner notification. Interviews are documented in databases required by IDOH and the CDC.
DIS 1s contribute significantly to the design of non-traditional interventions such as targeted screening programs and interrupting the chain of infection by preventative treatment of contacts.
