Research
- Thesis project: CTEST: Improving young Swedish men health services utilization for Chlamydia trachomatis infection detection and treatment. How can we do it?
The project aims to understand why young men living in Stockholm have lower prevalence of testing for sexually transmitted infections when compared to other gender and age groups. A cross-sectional population-based study was conducted to test the potential association of social factors (masculinities and social capital levels) with the self-perceived STI risk and STI testing patterns in this population.
