Aim 1: To improve the results notification system among all female adolescents who test positive for STIs in the ED using mobile phone texting technology.
Hypothesis 1: We will increase our contact rate for STI positive adolescents in the ED from 65-82%.
Hypothesis 2: We will decrease the time interval between testing and appropriate STI treatment by the ED.
Hypothesis 3: We will decrease the recidivism rates for STI positive patients diagnosed in the ED.
Aim 2: To explore qualitatively the barriers to and preferences for partner notification and treatment among 14-21 year-old females and males being tested for STIs in the ED.
Aim 3: To determine baseline rates of partner notification and preferences around partner notification among STI-positive females in the ED, and to explore the feasibility of ED personnel notifying their sexual partners.
