CONTEXT
In the United States, young people aged 15-24 represent 25% of the sexually experienced population. However, the incidence and prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among this age-group are unknown.
METHODS
Data from a variety of sources were used to estimate the incidence and prevalence of STDs among 15-24-year-olds in the United States in 2000. The quality and reliability of the estimates were categorized as good, fair or poor, depending on the quality of the data source.
RESULTS
Approximately 18.9 million new cases of STD occurred in 2000, of which 9.1 million (48%) were among persons aged 15-24. Three STDs (human papillomavirus, trichomoniasis and chlamydia) accounted for 88% of all new cases of STD among 15-24-year-olds.
CONCLUSIONS
These estimates emphasize the toll that STDs have on American youth. More representative data are needed to help monitor efforts at lowering the burden of these infections.
背景
在美国，15至24岁的年轻人占性活跃人群的25%。然而，该年龄组中性传播疾病（STD）的发病率和流行率尚不清楚。
方法
利用来自各种来源的数据来估计2000年美国15至24岁人群中STD的发病率和流行率。根据数据来源的质量，估计的质量和可靠性被分为好、一般或差。
结果
2000年约有1890万新的STD病例发生，其中910万例（48%）发生在15至24岁的人群中。三种STD（人乳头瘤病毒、滴虫病和衣原体感染）占15至24岁人群所有新STD病例的88%。
结论
这些估计强调了STD对美国年轻人造成的损失。需要更具代表性的数据来帮助监测减轻这些感染负担的工作。
