简要总结
The primary goal of this project is to improve the process for contacting patients that test positive for a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the emergency department by using text messaging. We believe patients that are contacted by both a phone call and a text message will be reached more often and they will be reached sooner than those that only receive a phone call or only a text message. In addition, patients will be given reminder cards at the time of testing to remind them that they will be contacted within 7 days if they test positive. Half of the reminder cards will have a number to call for test results. We believe patients that receive a card with a number are more likely to be contacted within 7 days.
详细描述
Aim 1: To improve the results notification system among all female adolescents who test positive for STIs in the ED using mobile phone texting technology.
Hypothesis 1: We will increase our contact rate for STI positive adolescents in the ED from 65-82%.
Hypothesis 2: We will decrease the time interval between testing and appropriate STI treatment by the ED.
Hypothesis 3: We will decrease the recidivism rates for STI positive patients diagnosed in the ED.
Aim 2: To explore qualitatively the barriers to and preferences for partner notification and treatment among 14-21 year-old females and males being tested for STIs in the ED.
