Evaluation of Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) Uptake and Effectiveness for Chlamydia/Gonorrhea

EPT pilot clinics received ongoing technical assistance, partner packs for each index patient and up to three partners, as well as quarterly reports summarizing clinic-specific and overall project data. The partner packs (Figure 2) consisted of medication for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or both, and contained materials of instructions introducing the treatment, potential side effects, contact information, and material about the infection. Information in the packs was provided in both English and Spanish. The EPT pilot clinics in return sent the Minnesota Department of Health minimal contact information for the index case and data about the utilization of partner packets on a weekly basis.
