Chlamydia is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted disease in the United States, infecting nearly 3 million Americans annually. It is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Many people do not show symptoms, though some people experience abnormal discharge or burning during urination. It is treated with antibiotics. Left untreated, chlamydia can cause serious complications for both women and men.
This document provides an introduction to youth violence in nightlife settings and its links to alcohol use. It discusses the extent of the problem internationally, with research showing high rates of alcohol-related assaults in bars and clubs. Individual and environmental risk factors are described, such as being male, low education, and poorly managed venues. The consequences of youth violence include physical and psychological injuries as well as economic costs. A public health approach is recommended to address risk factors through multi-component prevention programs targeting individuals, communities, and nightlife environments.
The document summarizes key findings from research on the relationship between alcohol and sexual violence:
1) Many perpetrators of sexual violence have been drinking prior to the assault and/or have alcohol abuse problems. Drinking by the perpetrator is associated with increased aggression and severity of violence.
2) Situations involving alcohol consumption by both the perpetrator and victim are riskier, as licensed premises and parties where drinking occurs are common locations for assaults between acquaintances.
3) Problem drinking is more common among both perpetrators and victims of sexual violence compared to the general population. Victims are also at risk of developing drinking problems after an assault.

This document provides guidance for professionals working with sexually active young people under the age of 18 in Peterborough. It outlines policies for assessing risk, the process of information sharing, and how to handle situations involving young people of different ages. For those under 13, sexual activity is considered rape and must be referred to children's services and police. Those between 13-16 require risk assessment and potential referral. While illegal, some sexual activity between teenagers may not require formal action unless abusive. The welfare of the child is the top priority.
This document discusses the links between alcohol use and risky sexual behavior among teenagers. It provides evidence that teenagers are more likely to engage in risky sex, such as unprotected sex, when under the influence of alcohol. Specifically, studies have shown that teenagers are less likely to use contraception when drinking and more likely to have sex they later regret. The document also notes that while drinking and risky sex often occur together, the relationship is complex, and risky behavior tends to cluster among some teenagers. It concludes by discussing the importance of addressing alcohol use and sex education together in schools to help teenagers develop skills to make healthy choices.
