Intervention: Recommendations from initial audit results to improve chlamydia screening procedures and documentation at admission
Who it was tested with: Adolescents aged 15+ admitted to forensic child and adolescent mental health wards in Birmingham.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"This audit aim to (1) Determine the demographics of young persons on admission (2) To determine the rate of chlamydia screening as well as the percentage of patients who qualified for a Chlamydia screening (3) To determine the rate of documentation for completed tests." The study measured screening completion before and after implementing audit recommendations in a vulnerable adolescent population, showing a before-after comparison without a control group.
Small sample sizes limit statistical power; only single-site audit; no comparison group; unclear whether re-audit improvements were sustained; no assessment of clinical impact or patient outcomes; study period and timing of re-audit not specified.
