Increasing attendance at pre-booked sexual health consultations: a systematic review

Rebecca Clarke, Gemma Heath, Jonathan D. C. Ross, Claire Farrow Attendance at sexual health clinics can help reduce STI transmission, yet many individuals at risk of STIs do not attend the sexual health appointments they have booked. Delivering an intervention with reliable sources, SMS appointment reminders, and information regarding relevant health consequences was found to increase attendance at sexual health appointments. Future research is needed to explore how successful different combinations of techniques are at increasing attendance.
