Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • General Practice
  • Sexual Health

Background:

  • Chlamydia screening is a key public health recommendation.
  • General practice registrars represent a critical period for developing clinical behaviors.
  • Understanding screening practices among registrars is essential for improving sexual health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the rates of chlamydia testing by general practice registrars.
  • To identify factors associated with registrars performing chlamydia testing.
  • To investigate asymptomatic chlamydia screening practices.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional analysis of the Registrars Clinical Encounters in Training (ReCEnT) cohort study data.
  • Inclusion of 29,112 consultations from 398 general practice registrars.
  • Analysis of outcomes including chlamydia testing, asymptomatic screening, and doctor-initiated screening.

Main Results:

  • Chlamydia testing occurred in 2.5% of all consultations, and 5.8% for patients aged 15-25.
  • Asymptomatic screening accounted for 47.5% of all chlamydia tests.
  • Testing was associated with female gender (doctor and patient), younger patient age, and new patients; asymptomatic screening favored no-fee practices and new patients.

Conclusions:

  • General practice registrars disproportionately screen younger females and new patients for chlamydia.
  • Findings suggest improving screening uptake through targeted registrar education, male patient campaigns, and addressing financial access barriers.
