The data from a postal survey of 409 GPs practising in New South Wales, Australia (response rate 45.4%) are analysed to explore the prevention of STI in general practice and to examine practitioners' perceived barriers to sexual-health promotion. About 49% of GPs reported having STI leaflets\/pamphlets for patients in their clinic, while 21% had posters on STI displayed in their waiting room. Two-third (67%) of GPs provided STI-specific printed materials\/leaflets to patients with STI. Female GPs were more likely to be proactive in STI prevention. Time and funding appear to be the major barriers to sexual-health promotion, followed by inadequate access to counselling. One-fifth (22%) of GPs felt that they had little influence in changing patients' risk behaviour, while about 28% emphasized the need for further preventive care training. The present study identifies inconsistencies in STI-prevention activities in general practice along with barriers to undertake sexual-health promotion. This area warrants further attention if GPs are to contribute fully to the control of STI. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/ijsa.2008.007297","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,23]],"date-time":"2008-06-23T20:48:31Z","timestamp":1214254111000},"page":"459-463","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Preventing sexually transmissible infections in Australian general practice"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Asaduzzaman","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Research Centre, University of Queensland, Brisbane Qld 4072, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Plummer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Education, University of the West Indies, Port of Spain, Trinidad"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rafat","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victor","family":"Minichiello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.2004.009571"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1363\/3600604"},{"volume-title":"HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and Sexually Transmissible Infections in Australia Annual Surveillance Report 2003","year":"2003","author":"National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research","key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C3"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C4","first-page":"1","volume":"51","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","year":"2002","journal-title":"M M W R"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.89.6.899"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007435-200204000-00011"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/fampra\/cmh509"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-842X.1998.tb01172.x"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-07-297C9","unstructured":"RussellD.
