“…In particular, gonorrhoea occurs more frequently, and NSGI less frequently, in lower social classes than in higher social classes (Pemberton et al, 1972;Heywood and Bacon, 1975). This study confirms these findings, although the class differences were less marked than the corresponding differences among patients examined in the Hull men's clinic (Heywood and Bacon, 1975).…”

“…Separated or divorced women accounted for 17 * 207o of total registrations; this compares with 9% of male registrations accounted for by patients in this category during a parallel survey of cases examined in the Hull men's clinic (Heywood and Bacon, 1975). Interestingly, the results of other clinic surveys suggest that separated and divorced patients may, in general, account for a higher proportion of female than of male clinic cases (Pemberton et al, 1972;Satin and Mills, 1978 (Satin and Mills, 1978).…”

“…An earlier paper presented an analysis of a three-year sample of male clinic registrations (Heywood and Bacon, 1975 The incidence of gonorrhoea and of syphilis was highest among those describing themselves as unemployed. The distribution of diagnoses in students resembled that of social classes II and III rather than that of social classes IV and V; this contrasts with the general pattern in the corresponding age group.…”

SUMMARY Social and medical data on 1672 female patients attending a venereal disease clinic were recorded over a four-year period. Analysis of these data provided a demographic and social profile of female clinic attenders and indicated considerable variations in patterns of diagnosis between different social categories of patients. The probability of diagnosis of different infections varied according to age, marital state, social class, employment status, and previous record of attendance.

SUMMARYWe describe three related studies of possible aetiological risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in men attending an STD clinic. In this paper we present the results for a variety of social and demographic variables traditionally associated with STD. In contrast to the results in the next two papers, these were largely negative. Occurrence rates of overall STD or of hepatitis, syphilis, gonorrhoea, or non-specific urethritis (NSU) had no aetiologically relevant association with age, nationality, marital status, social class, occupation, non-sexual social contact, drug abuse, or aggressive attitudes and behaviour. Gonorrhoea, however, was the only STD which correlated with alcohol abuse and with eating out rather than at home. We conclude that, with the possible exception of gonorrhoea, social factors contribute little to the distribution of STD risk within the study population.
