Chlamydia screening in Wellington Family Planning Association (FPA) clinics: a demonstration project.

Aims: To demonstrate that enhanced screening for Chlamydia over and above the usual opportunistic screening in family planning (FPA) clinics is feasible, practical, and acceptable.

Methods: Over a 6-month period from November 2004 to May 2005, all under-25-year-olds attending three Wellington FPA clinics in New Zealand were offered Chlamydia urine testing. Staff interviews before and after the study were carried out to assess the impact of enhanced screening on clinic routines.
