Multicenter Study Comparative StudyComparison of clinical evaluation of genitourinary symptoms in female adolescents among primary care versus emergency department physicians.
To compare clinical approaches to assessment and treatment of female adolescents with genitourinary symptoms among primary care and emergency department (ED) physicians. ⋯ ED physicians should obtain sexual histories on patients with genitourinary symptoms.

Physicians in both settings should have a low threshold for testing and empirically treating adolescents with symptoms or physical exam findings consistent with STIs.
