Abstract

Abstract: This retrospective study evaluates the implications of offering routine chlamydia screenings to women ages 16 to 25 attending a primary care clinical setting. Results found that routine screenings significantly increased the number of women screened, enabling early identification and treatment of affected women and potentially reducing infection rates.
