This study measured the acceptability of urine-based chlamydia screening to young adults, where young adults wanted opportunistic chlamydia screening services to be located, and by whom they wanted to be offered screening.
A cross-sectional survey of 5685 university students and 400 young adult healthcares setting attendees (age: 18-29 years).
Ninety-six percent of males and 93% of females said that they would find it acceptable to be offered chlamydia screening. Seventy-six percent of males and 77% of females wanted to be offered screening by a doctor or nurse. Young women would prefer female staff. Most respondents preferred that screening be located in traditional healthcare settings such as General Practices, and offered by either doctors or nurses. More than 90% of respondents did not want screening services to be located in pharmacies and almost all rejected public non-health care screening settings.
Opportunistic chlamydia screening services should be located in traditional healthcare/medical settings, and screening should be offered by doctors and nurses.
本研究旨在评估年轻人对基于尿液的衣原体筛查的可接受性，包括他们希望在何处获得机会性衣原体筛查服务，以及希望由谁提供筛查。
对 5685 名大学生和 400 名青年保健服务场所参与者（年龄：18-29 岁）进行横断面调查。
96%的男性和 93%的女性表示，他们会接受提供衣原体筛查。76%的男性和 77%的女性希望由医生或护士提供筛查。年轻女性更希望由女性工作人员提供服务。大多数受访者更喜欢在传统医疗保健场所（如全科医生）获得筛查，由医生或护士提供。超过 90%的受访者不希望筛查服务设在药店，几乎所有人都拒绝在非医疗保健的公共场所进行筛查。
机会性衣原体筛查服务应设在传统医疗保健/医疗场所，由医生和护士提供筛查。
