RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Impact of Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines on Screening for Chlamydia JF The Annals of Family Medicine JO Ann Fam Med FD American Academy of Family Physicians SP 361 OP 363 DO 10.1370/afm.1811 VO 13 IS 4 A1 Allison Ursu A1 Ananda Sen A1 Mack Ruffin YR 2015 UL http://www.annfammed.org/content/13/4/361.abstract AB The highest prevalence of chlamydia infection in the United States is among people aged 15 to 24 years. We assessed the impact of not doing routine cervical cancer screening on the rates of chlamydia screening in women aged 15 to 21 years. We classified visits to family medicine ambulatory clinics according to their timing relative to the 2009 guideline change that led to more restrictive cervical cancer screening. Women had higher odds of being screened for chlamydia before vs after the guideline change (odds ratio = 13.97; 95% CI, 9.17–21.29; P <.001). Chlamydia and cervical cancer screening need to be uncoupled and new screening opportunities should be identified.
