The article focuses on the Youth United Through Health Education program, a collaborative effort between the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the University of California, San Francisco. It aims to increase the sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening and treatment among adolescents in a neighborhood with a high incidence of STDs in the city. Youth health educators residing in the intervention neighborhood recruited sexually active youth between the ages of 12 and 22 years to participate in the program's intervention between January 2001 and May 2002. The intervention neighborhood was contrasted with a sociodemographically matched comparison neighborhoods' results. It showed that both females and males in the intervention neighborhood were significantly less likely to have Chlamydia trachomatis infections than their counterparts in the comparison neighborhood. |
