I work in the NT particularly around youth and sexual health and the rates are still quite high. Touching on the Central Australian STI Screen, I think has had some good impact however screening alone is not a sustainable way of bringing the rates down. It has burn out alot of health staff and if i’m not mistaken, the screen has been stopped.

I would like to think that behavioural interventions that have been put together by health promotion have behavioural intervention theories enshrined in the campaigns. I know it sounds funny – especially the way i’ve worded it.

Methods of engagement with youth have to take a slightly different curve as all previous methods have failed and keep costing the health care prevention budget lots of money.
