Brief description of intervention: The New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has observed recent increases in congenital syphilis (CS). During 2017-2018, over half of CS cases in NYC were related to syphilis acquisition during pregnancy after an initial non-reactive test, even with existing statewide mandates for syphilis screening at first prenatal examination (NYS Public Health Law §2308) and delivery (10 NYCRR §69-2.2). To promote increased detection of syphilis infections acquired during pregnancy, DOHMH’s interdisciplinary CS workgroup drafted a proposal to mandate third trimester syphilis screening for all pregnant New Yorkers.

Brief description of intervention: Case investigations among people who are or may become pregnant are a rare event for individual Disease Investigation Specialists (DIS) in NYC, which makes sustaining proficiency in working with this population (for whom there are notably different protocols and referrals) challenging. The Congenital Syphilis Prevention Investigator (CPI) model was developed to address this challenge, by designating one specialized DIS per region (eight specialized DIS total) to be assigned all syphilis investigations among people who are or may become pregnant (women aged ≤44).Several activities took place to support implementation of the CPI model including: enhancements to the citywide STI surveillance registry (Maven) to improve documentation, training for CPIs on relevant topics (e.g., prenatal care, CS case definition, syphilis management during pregnancy), specialized referral protocols, interactive sessions to learn tools to engage and build rapport with pregnant people, and strengthening of the partnership between CPI staff and the Health Department’s Social Work-CS Prevention program (described in a separate survey).

Brief description of intervention: Congenital syphilis (CS) can be prevented with timely prenatal care, and syphilis screening and treatment of the patient and their sex partners. Reviews of CS cases in New York City (NYC) have indicated healthcare access and other psychosocial factors have played a role. In 2017, NYC Bureau of Sexually Transmitted Infections started an intervention to provide social work (SW) services to pregnant people with syphilis, with the goal of improving outcomes and care among pregnant person with syphilis (Social Work CS Prevention program). For each pregnant person diagnosed with any stage of syphilis, SW staff identify and navigate potential barriers to prenatal care, assure third trimester syphilis screening, and provide psychosocial support to patients beyond standard STI case investigation and partner services. Specifically, SW staff review case investigation records of eligible patients, reach out to eligible persons and offer support throughout the duration of pregnancy via phone, and provide intensive case management, connecting patients to syphilis treatment, prenatal care, encouraging retesting for syphilis at 28 weeks, and linking to social resources (Cribs for Kids, Nurse Family Partnership, etc.) where appropriate.

Public Health Seattle & King County
Brief description of intervention: In response to the rise in congenital syphilis cases, starting December 30, 2020, Public Health Seattle and King County recommended testing all pregnancy women for syphilis at their first prenatal visit and again in the early third trimester with other routine labs, approximately 24-28 weeks gestation. Pregnant women not engaged in routine prenatal care should be tested at any time they engage with the health care system. In addition, supplemental interview questions were created for pregnant women with syphilis and mothers of babies with congenital syphilis in order to collect maternal and child clinical data, better understand congenital syphilis epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes, and strengthen congenital syphilis surveillance. The supplemental questions are completed by disease intervention specialist by interviewing the patient, chart review, and talking with the patients physician. Based on the information collected and additional testing, we hope to prevent future cases of congenital syphilis.
