S.P.A.C.E. Monkey 1.0

STD Prevention Allocation Consequences Estimator

SPACE Monkey (STD Prevention Allocation Consequences Estimator) is a tool created for state and local sexually transmitted disease (STD) programs to estimate the impact of changes in their budgets. Estimating these effects is not an exact science, but SPACE Monkey helps STD prevention personnel make evidence-based calculations that show how budget changes impact disease burden and direct medical costs. SPACE Monkey also illustrates how budget changes can affect intermediate outcomes such as partner services.
