Brief Summary:
Patients diagnosed with chlamydial infections a sexually transmitted disease are asked to notify their sex partners and tell them to seek medical evaluation This project tests an enhancement to the materials provided to patients to help convince their partners to seek evaluation against the standard of care which is a brief notification instruction The desired outcomes are greater levels of notification by participants of their partners and lower levels of reinfection among participants
Detailed Description:
Patients diagnosed with chlamydial infections a sexually transmitted disease are asked to notify their sex partners and tell them to seek medical evaluation patient referral Rates of actual referral by patients are unknown but estimates derived from several evaluations suggest somewhere between 30 - 55 of partners are notified and tested for chlamydia Current prevalence and yearly rates of infection suggest this level of partner notification and treatment is insufficient to control the disease
As a program this project has disseminated notification activities to community health centers that see chlamydial infections all under the aegis of the awardee Boston Medical Center Diagnosis and partner notification can be recorded remotely but centrally accessed through a secure database To enhance patient referral effectiveness this project tests brief instructions to refer standard of care against a kit containing a specific notification of exposure to chlamydia an accurate health message about the nature and prognosis of the infection treated and untreated options for seeking free or low-cost evaluation and treatment and a satisfaction survey A second crossed condition is pure patient referral against a contract 72 hours to notify after which study staff will refer cases to public health professionals for notification
Principal outcomes measured are levels of notification by participants of their partners and levels of reinfection among participants We also measure psychosocial mediating effects as well as potential unintended consequences of patient referral incident partner violence against prevalent baseline rates violence depressed affect
