Rates of sexually transmitted infections among young people aged 16-24 years have soared in recent years. Opportunistic screening for chlamydia and other STIs identifies asymptomatic infection but encouraging this group to take up screening remains a major challenge. National guidance recommends structured one-to-one discussions with young people to achieve behavioural change. Although opportunities for this are rare, the sexual health outreach team in Nottingham has developed an interactive educational module for use with groups of young people and combined it with sexual health screening, with initial positive results.
近年来，16至24岁年轻人的性传播感染率急剧上升。对衣原体和其他性传播感染进行机会性筛查可发现无症状感染，但鼓励这一年轻群体接受筛查仍是一项重大挑战。国家指南建议与年轻人进行结构化的一对一讨论，以实现行为改变。尽管这样的机会很少，但诺丁汉的性健康外展团队开发了一个互动式教育模块，供年轻人群体使用，并将其与性健康筛查相结合，初步取得了积极成果。
