We used surveillance data on London residents attending genitourinary medicine clinics in 2009\u201310 and calculated distances between patients\u2019 areas of residence and both the nearest genitourinary medicine clinic and the clinic attended. Non-local clinics were attended by 5408 (46.7%) patients. Men having sex with men attended non-local services more than heterosexuals (OR 3.83, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Among heterosexual men, black Africans and black Caribbeans were more likely, and South Asians less likely, to attend non-local services compared to whites (OR [95%CI] 1.33 [1.04\u20131.72], 1.36 [1.11\u20131.67] and 0.46 [0.31\u20130.70] respectively). Similar associations, although not statistically significant, were found in women. People were more likely to attend local services if their local clinic provided walk-in and young people\u2019s services, weekend consultations and long opening hours. These findings could help design services meeting local population needs and facilitate prompt and equitable access to care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462413493404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,19]],"date-time":"2013-07-19T23:12:27Z","timestamp":1374275547000},"page":"184-192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Factors associated with travel to non-local genitourinary medicine clinics for gonorrhoea: an analysis of patients diagnosed in London, 2009\u201310"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Olivier","family":"Le Polain de Waroux","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Protection Agency, Health Protection Services London, London, UK"},{"name":"European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training, European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gwenda","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Protection Agency, Health Protection Services Colindale, Department of HIV and STIs, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Maguire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Protection Agency, Health Protection Services London, London, UK"},{"name":"European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training, European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul D","family":"Crook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Protection Agency, Health Protection Services London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462413493404","unstructured":"Health Protection Agency (now Public Health England).
