Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to conduct a quality improvement intervention to improve the ability of health care providers to deliver an important preventive health service (CT screening) in order to meet the goal of universal CT screening for young women age 25 or younger as recommended by the CDC and virtually all major health organizations. This novel approach utilizes a bilingual (English-Spanish) computer kiosk module to deliver education about CT and allow patients to request a CT screening test. This module should significantly increase CT screening among at risk women (18-25yo) attending urgent care clinics and emergency departments.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Proportion of female patients 18-25yo receiving CT screening during ED or UC visit.
one year prior to the patient's clinic or ED visit.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Acceptability of module and intervention among patients and staff.
one year prior to the patient's clinic or ED visit.
Study Arms (1)
Female Patients 18-25 yo
Female patients aged 18-25 who have come to one of the ED or urgent care sites for care, regardless of the presence of CT symptoms.
Interventions
Patients will use a kiosk module that will provide information about CT screening and assess their risk for CT. Patients choosing to get a CT screening will receive a printout instructing the provider or nurse to collect a urine sample for CT screening.
Eligibility Criteria
Female patients 18-25 yo receiving care at urgent care or ED sites.
You may qualify if:
- English or Spanish speaking
- Medically Stable
- Sexually active
- Female
- years old
- Seeking health services in participating urgent care clinics and ED in San Francisco/Bay Area, California.
You may not qualify if:
- Clients who do not speak English or Spanish will not be eligible to participate.
- Males of any age because there is no CDC recommendation to universally screen this group.
- Women who have never had sexual intercourse are not eligible as this is a study of how to increase screening for chlamydia, a sexually transmitted infection.
- For Kiosk, clients with moderate and major trauma or illness requiring immediate medical intervention, as assessed by triage nurse as part of routine protocol, will be excluded from participation.
- Anyone who chooses not to participate (as this is voluntary) will be excluded from participation.
