B1: Chlamydia Screening in Indian Country – Program Development, Enhancement, and Expansion through Collaboration | |||
| Organizer: | Scott Tulloch | ||
| Moderator: | Steven J. Shapiro | ||
| Summary: | Background/Purpose: Chlamydial infections disproportionately affected adolescents and young adults. American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are also disproportionately affected by chlamydia. In 2005, AI/AN had the second highest rates of chlamydia compared to other race/ethnicities. Objectives of Symposium: Introduce the efforts to expand chlamydia screening in Indian Country; Describe chlamydia disparities among AI/AN populations; Highlight successful partnerships that support, advocate, and compliment screening priorities. Implications for Programs, Policy, and/or Research: Many barriers exist to providing STD screening and treatment services in Indian Country. The Stop Chlamydia Project seeks to overcome perceived barriers to program implementation by providing resources, technical assistance, and promoting collaboration among tribal, local, and regional partners. |
