N2 - This study preliminarily assesses spatial patterns of the spread of two common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, in Virginia and California. In particular, we ask how spread patterns correlate with locations of recently deployed military personnel. In Virginia, higher prevalence rates of STDs were found almost consistently in the counties with or adjacent to military installations. However, the equivalent correlation was not found in California.
