ERs test new ways to catch hidden STIs in teens

NCT ID NCT03715335

Summary

This study aimed to find the best and most affordable way to screen teenagers for gonorrhea and chlamydia when they visit a pediatric emergency room. Researchers tested two methods across a national network of hospitals: one that offered testing to all teens and another that targeted testing based on a private risk questionnaire. The goal was to see which approach found more infections and was easier for hospitals to use in real-world settings.
