Sally is working as a community outreach worker at a low-income clinic. Many female clients’ test results are positive for sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Due to the large number of positive STD test results, Sally wants to assess what percentage of women are testing positive and measure how STD’s are transmitted throughout the community. She learns that 30 percent of the women coming to the clinic are testing positive for STD’s. Sally contacted the local health department and received authorization to offer free testing to all women who come to the clinic. The health department will contact these women for additional information and offer free testing for their partners as well as medication.
