“…Gonorrhoea particularly affects certain population subgroups: young adults, men who have sex with men (MSM) and some ethnic groups. 8 Rates of gonorrhoea diagnosis in GUM clinics were highest among women aged 16-19 years (128 per 100,000) and men aged [20][21][22][23][24] (188 per 100,000). Of the women diagnosed with gonorrhoea, 40% (2147/5380) were teenagers ( Table 2).…”

“…However, not all of these featured young people, 19 or could be classed as behavioural interventions, 20 and many were based on evaluations of interventions conducted in the USA, dating back to the late 1980s/early 1990s. 21 These are of questionable relevance to the UK at the current time, where service provision and the epidemiology of STIs may be quite different.…”

'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as r...

An Economic Evaluation of a School-Based Sexually Transmitted Disease Screening Program

Abstract: The New Orleans school-based chlamydia screening program was cost-effective and cost-saving and could be cost-effective in other settings. School-based screening programs of this type are likely to be a cost-effective use of public funds and can reduce the burden of STDs among adolescents.
