很少有研究关注患者会从诊所接受什么形式的沟通。这项研究着眼于不同的偏好的合作伙伴通知方法时，受访者的索引患者相比，当他们必须联系，因为合作伙伴有性传播感染（STI）的差异。有2544人回答。当诊所必须通知合作伙伴时，当合作伙伴患有性传播感染并与他们联系时，与当受访者感染并与合作伙伴联系时相比，受访者更有可能报告该方法是好的。病人转诊伙伴通知的情况正好相反。因此，受访者对伴侣通知方法的偏好各不相同，这取决于他们是否将自己视为索引患者或接触者。
There have been very few studies focusing on what form of communication patients would find acceptable from a clinic. This study looks at the differences in preferences for various partner notification methods when the respondents were index patients compared with when they had to be contacted because a partner had a sexually transmitted infection (STI). There were 2544 respondents. When the clinic had to notify partners, respondents were more likely to report the method as good when a partner had an STI and they were being contacted compared with when the respondents had an infection and the partner was being contacted. The opposite was true for patient referral partner notification. Therefore, there are variations in the preferences of respondents for partner notification method, which depend on whether they see themselves as index patients or contacts.
