Clinical Trial Summary

The primary goal of this project is to improve the process for contacting patients that test positive for a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the emergency department by using text messaging. We believe patients that are contacted by both a phone call and a text message will be reached more often and they will be reached sooner than those that only receive a phone call or only a text message. In addition, patients will be given reminder cards at the time of testing to remind them that they will be contacted within 7 days if they test positive. Half of the reminder cards will have a number to call for test results. We believe patients that receive a card with a number are more likely to be contacted within 7 days.


Description:

Aim 1: To improve the results notification system among all female adolescents who test positive for STIs in the ED using mobile phone texting technology.

Hypothesis 1: We will increase our contact rate for STI positive adolescents in the ED from 65-82%.

Hypothesis 2: We will decrease the time interval between testing and appropriate STI treatment by the ED.

Hypothesis 3: We will decrease the recidivism rates for STI positive patients diagnosed in the ED.

Aim 2: To explore qualitatively the barriers to and preferences for partner notification and treatment among 14-21 year-old females and males being tested for STIs in the ED.

Aim 3: To determine baseline rates of partner notification and preferences around partner notification among STI-positive females in the ED, and to explore the feasibility of ED personnel notifying their sexual partners.
