The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, a sexually transmitted disease, and the association of selected behavioral risk factors were assessed in a population of adolescents in two juvenile detention facilities. Urine was collected for Chlamydia testing and a brief interview conducted for risk and demographic information. Almost all of the 200 participants were sexually active, many before the age of 13 years. The prevalence of Chlamydia infection was 22.2% among female and 8.7% among male participants. Injection drug use was the only statistically significant variable associated with infection. Education and community services are necessary to break the cycle of infection for this high-risk population.
在两所青少年拘留所的青少年人群中，对性传播疾病沙眼衣原体的患病率以及选定行为风险因素之间的关联进行了评估。收集尿液进行衣原体检测，并进行简短访谈以获取风险和人口统计学信息。200名参与者几乎都有性行为，许多人在13岁之前就开始了。女性参与者中衣原体感染率为22.2%，男性参与者中为8.7%。注射吸毒是与感染相关的唯一具有统计学意义的变量。对于这一高危人群，开展教育和社区服务对于打破感染循环是必要的。
