Socioeconomic, behavioural and health factors associated with chlamydia testing in sexually active young women: an Australian observational cohort study

Louise Forsyth Wilson, Annette Jane Dobson, Jenny Doust, Gita Devi Mishra Young people are encouraged to have chlamydia tests&#x003B; however, few studies have looked at the characteristics of those who do or do not undergo testing. In a population of sexually active young Australian women, testing was most likely in those without a partner or who reported a history of chlamydia infection. Women engaging in heavy episodic drinking and/or recent cannabis use were also more likely to be tested. In contrast, testing was less likely in overweight/obese women in a stable relationship.
