A majority of the evidence cites the UK model, followed by the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Belgium only. Acceptability if offered test in primary healthcare (PHC) ranged from 55% to 81.4% in women and from 9.5% to 70.6% when both genders were reported together. Men may have a lower UCT compared with women. When both genders were reported together, the lowest acceptability was 9.5% in the Netherlands. Denmark presented the highest percentage of eligible people who tested in a PHC setting (87.3%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Different health systems may influence UCT in PHC. The regional use of a common testing rate indicator is suggested to homogenise reporting. There is very little evidence on integration of SRHS such as chlamydia testing in PHC and there are gaps between European countries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2019-031644","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,18]],"date-time":"2019-10-18T08:54:56Z","timestamp":1571388896000},"page":"e031644","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Primary care integration of sexual and reproductive health services for chlamydia testing across WHO-Europe: a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Harumi","family":"Quezada-Yamamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"WHO Collaborating Centre, Department of Primary Care and Public Health, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Dubois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"WHO Collaborating Centre, Department of Primary Care and Public Health, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Mastellos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Primary Care and Public Health, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salman","family":"Rawaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"WHO Collaborating Centre, Department of Primary Care and Public Health, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121513525558000_9.10.e031644.1","unstructured":"World Health Organization .
