Chlamydia test 'barriers' for young people

ONE-FIFTH of young Australians aren't following through with chlamydia testing, prompting researchers to call for clinics to take action.

One-fifth of young Australians aren't following through with chlamydia testing, new research says.

ONE in five young Australians are not submitting a specimen for chlamydia testing after a request from their GP, new research says.

THOSE most likely not to follow through are men, people aged 16 to 19, those living in socioeconomic disadvantage and those attending clinics without on-site pathology collection.
