Trends in Chlamydia Screening, Test Positivity, and Treatment Among Females in California Juvenile Detention Facilities, 2003-2014

摘要

Background Juvenile detention facilities house adolescents at high risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Collaboration between health departments and juvenile detention authorities can provide routine, cost-efficient chlamydia screening and treatment to females with limited access to care. We describe trends in screening, positivity, treatment, and associated costs in a well-established juvenile detention chlamydia screening program.
