Text sex queries scheme a success
A groundbreaking project that allows young people to text sexual health queries to a counsellor has been hailed a success, reports the UK Evening Times. "Text 4 U, which was devised by NHS Greater Glasgow, allows teenagers to discuss health concerns anonymously by texting a key word to trained advisors. The most common texts sent were about contraception and sexually transmitted diseases. Recent research in Glasgow reported fewer than 25% of young people were aware of sexual health services but new figures show the number of young people contracting chlamydia in the UK has tripled. NHS Greater Glasgow now plans to roll out the service across the city." |
