| Description: |
Background To inform a sexual health quality improvement program we examined chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing rates among 15-29 year olds attending Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) in New South Wales, Australia, and factors associated with chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing. Methods: From 2009 to 2011, consultation and testing data were extracted from four ACCHS. Over the study period, we calculated the median number of consultations per person and interquartile range (IQR), the proportion attending (overall and annually), the proportion tested for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, and those who tested positive. We examined factors associated with chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing using logistic regression. Results: Overall, 2896 15-29-year-olds attended the ACCHSs, 1223 were male and 1673 were female. The median number of consultations was five (IQR 2-12), four (IQR 1-8) for males and seven (IQR 3-14) for females (P |
