2009 GC Prevention Activities Newark ,Trenton & Camden STD clinics started offering urine
screenings for GC/CT to females and males (< 26 years of age).
Collaborating with NJCRI Mobile unit- to screen adolescences in “hot spots.”
Options for Women- New GC/CT site for female adolescences. Essex & Hudson County Juvenile Detention Center-
collaborates w/ STD field staff to ensure patients and partners are treated in timely manner for CT/GC.
2010 GC Action Plan Partnership w/ “key” stakeholders in Essex County. Partner with community “leaders” Collaborate w/ AHEC Mobile Unit- Camden County. 8 STD clinics- urine screening for GC females/males < 26 years
of age.
Barriers/Challenges…… Limited Resources ( reduction in funding & personnel). Training being available for all employees. Establishing partnerships Patients having access to care ( many rural clinics in Region 3). Due to limited staff, STD clinics reduced hours of operations. Many patients ( target population) are uninsured and utilize hospitals,
emergency rooms for care.
Thank You!!!
