Description: |
|
|
Urine based screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia is
offered to adolescents at community sites within Oakland County. Clients also
complete a questionnaire on sexual activity and receive risk reduction
education. Immunization history is reviewed on adolescents at the school clinics
and juvenile detention center. The hepatitis B series is completed if time
allows. Adolescents are released with an immunization record. Recently,
immunizations have been entered into the state system. As of September 30, 2007
9,250 adolescents and young adults have been screened through our project.
