Abstract
Over the Christmas and New Year period the Health Education Authority launched a sexual health promotion campaign aimed at increasing the awareness of and reducing the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancy. We undertook a study to assess the effect of this campaign locally in 2 genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics. From our study we concluded the following: (1) Although rarely performed, it is possible to assess the effectiveness of health promotion campaigns. (2) Genitourinary medicine clinics provide a good forum for the assessment of such campaigns. (3) The information obtained from such assessments can be valuable for effective targeting of future campaigns.
