The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine if a cash reward, offered to both the provider and the consumer of chlamydia screening, increased the uptake of screening in community pharmacies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>During 4\u2005weeks in 2011, chlamydia screening and education were offered in four city and two suburban pharmacies to people aged 16\u201330\u2005years. Those who provided a urine sample for testing, contact details, and completed a brief questionnaire were rewarded with $A10. Positive participants, and their nominated contacts, were offered treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over a period of 751.5\u2005h, 979 testing kits were requested, and 900 (93%) urine samples returned. Using probabilistic linkage methods, we determined that 671\/900 (75%) urine samples were from unique individuals. 0.9 unique samples were obtained\/hour of screening, 63% of which were provided by men. 19\/671 (2.8%; 95% CI 1.7% to 4.4%) people tested positive, 5.2% (95% CI 2.8% to 8.8%) of women, and 1.4% (1.4 0.5 to 3.1) of men. 11\/19 (58%) people were contacted and treated\u2014two for suspected pelvic inflammatory disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Providing a cash reward to encourage chlamydia screening in community pharmacies resulted in greater participation rates than previously reported pharmacy-based studies, particularly among men. Easily implemented mechanisms to reduce inappropriate repeat screening, incorrect contact details and effects on pharmacy work flow may enhance the efficiency of this approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/sextrans-2011-050357","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,24]],"date-time":"2012-10-24T03:44:47Z","timestamp":1351050287000},"page":"212-216","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Community pharmacy and cash reward: a winning combination for chlamydia screening?"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"Marian J","family":"Currie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louise S","family":"Deeks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabrielle M","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah J","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rhian M","family":"Parker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rendry","family":"Del Rosario","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane S","family":"Hocking","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francis J","family":"Bowden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051320582500000_89.3.212.1","unstructured":"Department of Health and Ageing (Australian Government).
