Demographic and geographical risk factors for gonorrhoea and chlamydia in greater Western Sydney, 2003-2013.

CONCLUSION: Analysis of notification rates of chlamydia and gonorrhoea in the greater Western Sydney area suggest that young people aged 15-29 years and residents of particular LGAs are at greater risk of infection. A limitation was the unknown effect of patterns of testing. Nevertheless, these results can support the planning of local sexual health clinical services as well as the design of targeted health promotion interventions. PMID: 28899308 [PubMed - in process]
