Impact of GYT: Evaluation Data From Clinics

The target behavior of the GYT campaign is STD testing among people 25 years of age and younger.  Data showing the uptake of STD testing comes from two sources: Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) clinics (n = 700) and Infertility Prevention Project (IPP) participating clinics (n = 7000).   PPFA clinics report STD service data for each April.  In April 2009, the campaign’s launch month, the PPFA clinics reported about 117,000 tests for chlamydia; this figure increased to 144,000 tests in April 2010.   IPP data show that 2009 chlamydia tests were about 3% greater than the previous year, leveling off in 2010.
