Chlamydia, the most prevalent bacterial S77) in the United States, is linked to a variety of problems which affect women, their offspring, and their sex partners. Data were collected by two nurse practitioners during scheduled gynecology visits for 105 military women. There was a statistical association among women with chlamydia 2 = 3.623, df = 1, p = .057) and trichomonas 2 = 12.83, df= 1, p = < .001) and a friable cervix With a 1096 prevalence of chlamydia, accurate diagnosis and treatment are imperative. No differences between the prevalence of chlamydia and self-esteem and problem-solving appraisal were noted. These findings support the strategies for diagnoses, treatment, and prevention of chlamydia recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.
