| Abstract: This panelist will present data obtained from an intervention to increase testing for STDs. Approximately 115 students participated in the study. All participants received a coupon redeemable for a Chlamydia test at the student health center. All participants completed an educational unit on STDs. Two groups prepared individual presentations outlining the importance of being tested for STDs. One group was videotaped and one group turned in a written version. All were led to believe this was part of a broader high school STD intervention. The remaining third group served as a control. Data illustrating differences in testing rates for the three groups was collected from the testing site and will be discussed. |
