Abstract: The Hawaii State Department of Health's Chlamydia Network Project screened 272 asymptomatic females for chlamydia; 20 (7.4 per cent) were found to be positive. When interviewed, 75 per cent (15/20) of the cases gave information such that their sexual partner(s) could be located. Ninety per cent (14/16) of the locatable partners were brought to examination within seven days. Keys to success were the training of family planning clinic staff in STD (sexually transmitted disease) control methods, and close intra-agency cooperation.
