Improving STI detection in pediatric emergency departments
Improving the Detection of STIs in the Pediatric Emergency Department: A Pragmatic Trial
['FUNDING_R01'] · CHILDREN'S RESEARCH INSTITUTE · NIH-10466870
This study is looking for better ways to test teenagers for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in emergency rooms, so that those who might not usually get checked can receive the care they need quickly and easily.

What this research studies
This research aims to enhance the screening and diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adolescents in emergency departments. By implementing a pragmatic trial across a national network of pediatric emergency departments, the study seeks to identify the most effective and cost-efficient methods for STI screening in real-world clinical settings. The goal is to reach adolescents who may not otherwise receive preventive healthcare, thereby improving early detection and treatment of STIs. The research will also focus on reducing the time it takes to diagnose and treat asymptomatic infections.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adolescents visiting pediatric emergency departments who may be at risk for STIs.
Not a fit: Patients who are not adolescents or those who do not visit emergency departments for care may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved STI screening practices, resulting in better health outcomes for adolescents.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in STI screening in emergency settings, indicating that this approach has potential for significant impact.
