Healthcare providers’ perspectives on expedited partner therapy for chlamydia: a qualitative study: Table 1
Abstract
Objectives Expedited partner therapy (EPT) effectively reduces rates of reinfection with chlamydia and increases the number of partners treated for the infection. Healthcare provider (HCP) provision of EPT is low. The objective of this qualitative study was to understand HCP views and opinions regarding the use of EPT in a state where EPT is permissible but underused. Methods Using a purposive sampling strategy to include diverse HCPs who treat young women at risk for chlamydia, 23 semistructured, in-depth interviews were conducted between October and December 2013. The interviews included questions about knowledge, attitudes, experiences with, and barriers and facilitators regarding the use of EPT. Results Many respondents report using EPT and believe the practice is beneficial for their patients. Most providers were unaware of their colleagues' practices and had limited knowledge regarding institutional policies around EPT. HCPs noted a variety of barriers, such as fear of liability, confusion around the legal status of EPT and not being able to counsel patients' partners that make routine use of this practice a challenge. Facilitators of EPT include speaking on the phone with patients' partners and establishing legislation enabling EPT. Conclusions This is the first study to qualitatively examine HCPs' perspectives on EPT in the USA. Barriers to EPT, including concerns about counselling patients' partners and the legal status of EPT, can be overcome. EPT recommendations co…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
