背景资料：有多个性伴侣的人往往会忘记一个显着的比例时，回忆themes.Methods：随机试验的补充面试技术在常规的合作伙伴通知接触采访衣原体，淋病，梅毒在科罗拉多泉，CO。在过去的3个月（n = 123）的情况下，多个性伴侣参加。在个案自行召回伴侣后，访谈者非特异性地提示并读回引出的伴侣名单。然后，我们随机分配病例接受三组回忆线索中的一组：（1）一组实验线索，包括人们遇到合作伙伴的地点，角色关系，网络关系和名字的第一个字母;（2）另一组实验线索，包括共同的名字;（3）涉及个人特征的控制线索（例如，物理外观）。结果：非特定提示和阅读列表，每一个都增加了额外的合作伙伴的数量，并平均增加了3%到5%。平均而言，结合位置/角色/字母/网络线索引出更多的合作伙伴（0.57）比名字（0.29）和个人特征（0.28）线索。位置和名字的线索是最有效的引出定位合作伙伴。的补充技术增加了12%的新病例发现的数量，重要的是，确定分支机构的性网络，否则不会被发现。结论：引出的性伴侣可以提高接触访谈与简单的采访技术，从而提高网络确认和性传播疾病的病例发现。
Background: People with multiple sex partners tend to forget a significant proportion when recalling them.Methods: Randomized trial of supplementary interviewing techniques during routine partner notification contact interviews for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis in Colorado Springs, CO. Cases with multiple sex partners in the last 3 months (n = 123) participated. Interviewers prompted nonspecifically and read back the list of elicited partners after cases recalled partners on their own. We then randomly assigned cases to receive 1 of 3 sets of recall cues: (1) an experimental set of cues consisting of locations where people meet partners, role relationships, network ties, and first letters of names; (2) another experimental set including common first names; and (3) control cues referring to individual characteristics (e.g., physical appearance).Results: Nonspecific prompting and reading back the list each increased the number of additional partners elicited and located by 3% to 5% on average. On average, the combined location/role/letter/network cues elicited more additional partners (0.57) than did the first-name (0.29) and individual characteristics (0.28) cues. The location and first-name cues were the most effective in eliciting located partners. The supplementary techniques increased the number of new cases found by 12% and, importantly, identified branches of the sexual network that would not otherwise have been discovered.Conclusion: Elicitation of sex partners can be enhanced in contact interviews with simple interviewing techniques, resulting in improved network ascertainment and sexually transmitted disease case finding.
