| The Gonorrhea Community Action Project's objectives are to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving access and care at multiple levels of health care systems, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Three sites tailored up to four interventions to local conditions while observing a common protocol with respect to content and measurement. (1) At STD clinics, patients with either gonorrhea or chlamydia were encouraged to return for a three-month check-up. (2) Community partners helped develop an awareness campaign with print and web media, promoting health care seeking. (3) At CBOs, adolescents attended a three-session intervention encouraging them to seek regular health care, including a sexual history. (4) Community health care providers were encouraged to take a sexual history from their patients and to screen routinely for STDs. | |||
