Cambodia Behavioral Surveillance Surveys: 1997-1999

The Cambodia Behavioral Surveillance Surveys (BSS) have been conducted since 1997. The BSS involve the collection of waves of data among the same subpopulations with the same tools in the same cities. The objectives are to measure trends in high-risk sexual behavior in selected key subpopulations over time and to provide yearly information on social conditions affecting HIV/STD. Survey questions focus on behaviors that create the highest risk of transmitting HIV infection.

This report highlights findings from the first through the third waves of the Cambodia BSS conducted in 1997, 1998, and 1999.
