Clear Seven was distributed at private health care outlets in three rural districts and two divisions of the capital. Comparisons were made with a pre-intervention period in the same sites plus one additional rural district. There were almost universally positive attitudes to Clear Seven. Cure rate (84% versus 47%), treatment compliance (93% versus 87%), and condom use during treatment (36% versus 18%) were significantly higher among Clear Seven users ( n=422) than controls ( n=405). Partner referral was similar but fewer Clear Seven partners were symptomatic when seeking treatment. Distribution of socially marketed pre-packaged treatment for male urethritis should be expanded in sub-Saharan Africa. Consideration should be given to developing similar kits for women. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/095646203762869250","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,27]],"date-time":"2003-03-27T23:45:33Z","timestamp":1048808733000},"page":"216-221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Social marketing of pre-packaged treatment for men with urethral discharge (<i>Clear Seven<\/i>) in Uganda"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"B","family":"Jacobs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council Programme on AIDS, Uganda Virus Research Institute, Entebbe, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F S K","family":"Kambugu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"STD\/AIDS Control Programme, Ministry of Health, and Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J A G","family":"Whitworth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council Programme on AIDS, Uganda Virus Research Institute, Entebbe, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Ochwo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Commercial Market Strategies Project, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Pool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council Programme on AIDS, Uganda Virus Research Institute, Entebbe, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Lwanga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council Programme on AIDS, Uganda Virus Research Institute, Entebbe, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Tifft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Futures Group International, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Lule","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Drug Authority and Clinical Epidemiology Unit, Makerere University Medical School, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J R","family":"Cutler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USAID Uganda, PO Box 7856, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,1]]},"container-title":["International Journal of STD &amp; AIDS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/095646203762869250","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/095646203762869250","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,3]],"date-time":"2025-03-03T00:15:25Z","timestamp":1740960925000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/095646203762869250"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/095646203762869250"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/095646203762869250","relation":{},"ISSN":["0956-4624","1758-1052"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0956-4624"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1758-1052"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,1]]}}}
