“…The current study demonstrates a progressive increasing trend of both CT and GC infections upon booking of female adolescents within the San Bernardino County juvenile detention system. In contrast, a recent study by Burghardt et al noted a decreasing trend of CT infections among incarcerated female juveniles since the implementation of a CT screening program (CLaSP) in California [9]. Despite the overall statewide success of CLaSP, this study suggests that San Bernardino County infection rates are in contrast to previously reported patterns.…”

“…The disease burden of STDs within the juvenile population is relatively large and costly, with juveniles accounting for nearly 60% of STD cases in San Bernardino County in 2016 [12,13]. While screening programs may seem costly (median cost of $708 per treated individual), the cost-effectiveness over time will likely mitigate initial start-up costs [9,12]. Incorporating screening into the initial medical exam upon booking has been shown to reduce the STD disease burden [14].…”

“…Burghardt et al recently reported a significant decreasing trend of CT infections upon booking under CLaSP within several California juvenile correctional facilities [9]. In addition, Barry et al indicated that there were higher rates of STDs within the female detainee population than the male detainee population, and thus should be given priority in screening [10,11].…”

Background: Youth in juvenile detention centers are at a high risk for sexually transmitted disease (STD). The current study assesses the trends of chlamydia and gonorrhea (GC) infections and treatment among females within a single county's juvenile correctional facilities. Methods: This is a retrospective review of aggregate data of female adolescents between 12 and 18 years old who underwent STD screening from 2009 to 2016 in San Bernardino County. Results: Chlamydia infections among adolescent females increased from 11.8% in 2009 to 17.0% in 2016 (p = 0.0002), and GC infections increased from 1.3% in 2009 to 6.0% in 2016 (p < 0.0001). Treatment rates of chlamydia were stable, ranging from 66.7% to 70.8% of positive female adolescents were treated between 2009 and 2016 (p=0.1752). The treatment rate for GC increased from 33% in 2009 to 78.3% in 2016, but annual trends were not statistically significant (p=0.8419). Conclusions: Chlamydia and GC infections among female adolescents discovered during routine screening upon booking into a county juvenile detention system increased over the study time period. Effective collaboration between public health and various community organizations is needed to improve awareness and prevention of STDs amongst at-risk adolescents.

“…In addition, incarcerated individuals have a history of risky behavior in prison, such as sharing needles and unprotected sex, which favor the occurrence of this type of infection (7)(8) . Among the STIs most associated with this population are HIV, syphilis, genital herpes, viral hepatitis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HPV (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) .…”

Objective: to analyze in the scientific literature the educational technologies on sexually transmitted infections used in health education for incarcerated women. Method: an integrative review carried out by searching for articles in the following databases: Scopus, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health, Education Resources Information Center, PsycInFO, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Latin American Literature in Health Sciences, Cochrane, and the ScienceDirect electronic library. There were no language and time restrictions. A search strategy was developed in PubMed and later adapted to the other databases. Results: a total of 823 studies were initially identified and, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight articles were selected. Most of them were developed in the United States with a predominance of randomized clinical trials. The technologies identified were of the printed materials type, isolated or associated to simulators of genital organs, videos, and games. Conclusion: the technologies on sexually transmitted infections used in health education for incarcerated women may contribute to adherence to the prevention of this serious public health problem in the context of deprivation of liberty.
