OBJECTIVE:To measure chlamydia testing and positivity rates among 16-39 year olds attending Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs). METHODS:Retrospective non-identifiable computerised records containing consultation and chlamydia testing data were collected for patients (16-39 years) attending eight ACCHSs during 2008-09 in urban, regional and remote settings for the Australian Collaboration for Chlamydia Enhanced Sentinel Surveillance (ACCESS) system. Annual chlamydia testing and positivity rates were estimated. RESULTS:Over two years, 13,809 patients aged 16-39 years (57.8% female, 82.3% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander) attended. The annual overall chlamydia testing rate was 13.0% (2008) and 16.0% (2009). Testing rates were higher among females (p<0.001) and among patients aged 16-29 than 30-39 years (males: p=0.01; females: p<0.001). Chlamydia positivity was 8.5% overall; similar in females (8.7%) and males (7.8%) (p=0.46); highest among 16-19 years (females: 17.4%; males: 13.0%), declining to 1.5% among females 35-39 years (p<0.001) and 4.8% among males 30-34 years (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Chlamydia testing at these ACCHSs approached recommended levels among some patient groups, however, it should increase. High positivity among younger people highlights they should be targeted. IMPLICATIONS:Young people should be targeted for sexual health interventions. ACCHSs are well placed to provide enhanced sexual health services if appropriately resourced.

目的:测量参加原住民社区控制健康服务(ACCHS)的16-39岁人群的衣原体检测和阳性率。
方法:收集了2008-09年间在城市,区域和偏远地区参加澳大利亚AC衣原体加强前哨监视协作组织(ACCESS)的八个ACCHS的患者(16-39岁)的回顾性,不可识别的计算机记录,其中包含咨询和衣原体检测数据系统。估计每年的衣原体检测和阳性率。
结果:在过去的两年中,共有13809名16-39岁的患者(女性占57.8%,原住民或托雷斯海峡岛民占82.3%)参加了研究。每年的衣原体总检出率分别为13.0%(2008年)和16.0%(2009年)。女性和16-29岁患者的测试率高于30-39岁(男性:p = 0.01;女性:p <0.001)。衣原体阳性率为8.5%。女性(8.7%)和男性(7.8%)相似(p = 0.46);在16-19岁之间最高(女性:17.4%;男性:13.0%),在35-39岁的女性中下降到1.5%(p <0.001),在30-34岁的男性中下降到4.8%(p <0.001)。
结论:在这些患者中,衣原体检测在某些患者组中已达到推荐水平,但应增加。年轻人中的高度积极性凸显了他们应该成为目标。
后果:应该针对年轻人进行性健康干预。如果资源适当,ACCHS可以提供​​更好的性健康服务。
