Control of the spread of gonorrhoea requires considerable patient co-operation. A study of 100 consecutive patients with gonorrhoea attending a sexually transmitted diseases clinic was undertaken to determine whether improving a patient's understanding of their disease, its treatment, and the need for contact tracing increased the patient's willingness to attend for follow-up. The results indicated that although educational counselling improved the reattendance rate at follow-up it is debatable whether such a time-consuming and expensive method is justifiable economically.
控制淋病传播需要患者的大力配合。对一家性传播疾病诊所连续收治的100例淋病患者进行了一项研究，以确定提高患者对其疾病、治疗方法以及接触者追踪必要性的了解是否会增加患者接受随访的意愿。结果表明，尽管教育咨询提高了随访时的复诊率，但这种耗时且昂贵的方法在经济上是否合理仍存在争议。
