Web-based chlamydia education for university students: A pilot project.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Chlamydia disproportionately affects individuals aged 15-24 years. A lack of chlamydia knowledge in this high-risk group likely contributes to decreased testing, but interventions to increase chlamydia knowledge in this population are not well-described in the literature. The purpose of this pilot project was to increase chlamydia knowledge in a sample of university students using nurse-developed web-based education.

Design

A pre- and post-test design was used to evaluate participant knowledge of chlamydia before and after completing a nurse-developed web-based education intervention designed for university students.

Methods

Forty-seven undergraduate students at one U.S. university participated. A focus group and scientific evidence informed the development of th
