Receptiveness to Patient-Delivered Partner Therapy (PDPT) for Chlamydia Infection: Exploratory Findings From a Sample of Canadian Youth.

CONCLUSION: Among 312 Canadian youth, a majority expressed hypothetical comfort with providing and receiving PDPT for C. trachomatis. Having multiple recent sexual partners significantly increased reported potential receptiveness. Within this sample, PDPT thus has a significant potential to reach youth engaging in higher-risk sexual behavior. Variations in comfort based on symptom status emphasized the importance of tailoring partner management strategies to individual patients and of ongoing patient education.
