Eastern Quadrant PTCs collaborated Eastern Quadrant PTCs collaborated to assess the STD training needs of to assess the STD training needs of managed care providers related to managed care providers related to STD diagnostics use, screening STD diagnostics use, screening practices, patient counseling, and practices, patient counseling, and patient management issues to guide patient management issues to guide training activities in the Eastern training activities in the Eastern
Quadrant Quadrant

MethodsMethods
EQPTCs collaborated with Boston University School of Public Health to conduct the needs assessment
Managed care organizations in Boston (Region I), New York (Region II), and Baltimore (Region III) were chosen to participate
Pediatric, internal medicine, family practice, and OB/GYN physicians were selected to receive surveys
![Page 7: by the Eastern Quadrant PTCs of the National Network of Prevention Training Centers (NNPTC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814223550346895dae37f4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Methods Methods Clinicians were randomly selected among participating
organizations and randomly assigned Syphilis, Chlamydia, or Training needs assessment questionnaires
A total of 649 surveys were mailed to selected providers-Region I: 314 surveys (Harvard Vanguard
Medical Associates, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care)-Region II: 300 surveys (Health Plus)-Region III: 35 surveys (Baltimore Medical
Systems) Incentive varied by region

ResultsResults
A total of 294 surveys were completed and returned Overall response rate was 49.8% 93% of respondents were Medicaid managed care
providers Regional response rates:
-Region I: 47.8%-Region II: 49.4%-Region III: 68.5%

Logistic Regression Models: Logistic Regression Models: Chlamydia Screening in Chlamydia Screening in
Adolescents/Young AdultsAdolescents/Young Adults Female physicians are more likely than male
physicians to screen female patients for Chlamydia
Physician gender does not predict Chlamydia screening practices for male patients
Region of physician practice does not predict screening practices for Chlamydia
Average number of patients seen by physicians does not predict screening practices for Chlamydia

Next StepsNext Steps Share our findings with managed care stakeholders Integrate identified practice challenges, screening issues
and training needs into PTC clinical training courses Continue to incorporate CDC recommendations and
reports into STD/HIV/AIDS training content Promote access to urine-based screening Widely disseminate Eastern Quadrant training module
“Prevention and Management of STDs in Persons Living with HIV/AIDS” to HIV care providers
Link with CDC Advancing HIV Prevention initiative
