Association between human papillomavirus vaccine status and sexually transmitted infection outcomes among females aged 18-35 with a history of sexual activity in the United States: A population survey-based cross-sectional analysis
2020, VaccineCitation Excerpt :Our findings add to previous studies using NHANES, indicating HPV vaccination is not associated with reduced condom use or increased number of sexual partners [47]. Studies using self-reported measures of sexual behaviour may be susceptible to social desirability bias, thus our study using lab-confirmed cases of STIs and vaccine-type HPV outcomes present findings that have reduced potential for reporting and social desirability bias [48]. A self-reported history of sexual activity was used as an eligibility criterion to select the participants from NHANES into the study sample.
Information Technology–Assisted Screening for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia in a Pediatric Emergency Department
2020, Journal of Adolescent HealthCitation Excerpt :This screening process is innovative in that it is the first process that universally offers computerized GC/CT screening in the pediatric ED setting based on age rather than risk factors [8,22]. This is important as it has been shown that adolescents are not always truthful in their responses to sexual history questions, which may result in inaccurately categorizing their risk and consequently excluding them from being offered screening [23,24]. This design is supported by previous literature of school-based and pediatric ED screening programs that have demonstrated feasibility using an age-based screening approach as well as the HIV screening approach recommended by the CDC [19,25,26].

2014, Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchCitation Excerpt :STD assessment also was based on self-report of diagnosis and confirmation of diagnosis by a health professional, rather than verification with testing reports or medical records. However, the use of a single question and self-report of STDs should be biased in the direction of underreporting and thus towards the null [50]. As such, our results are likely to be robust.
