Public Health Outcomes Framework. The Public Health Outcomes Framework (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇/) sets out a vision for public health, desired outcomes and the indicators that will be used to monitor how well public health is being improved and protected. The Framework includes three indicators relating to sexual health: Indicator 2.04: Under-18 conception rate Indicator 3.02: Chlamydia diagnosis rates among young adults aged 15-24s Indicator 3.04: % of persons presenting with HIV at a late stage of infection Local areas are tasked to continue to work to reduce the number of under-18 conceptions, to prevent and control the transmission of chlamydia, and to promote and increase uptake of HIV testing in order to reduce the number of patients entering HIV treatment services at a late stage of infection. Participation in the Ruclear chlamydia and gonorrhoea screening programme is expected to contribute to increasing the number of access points for asymptomatic young people aged 15-24 to obtain an opportunistic screen. Public Health England recommends that local areas should be working towards achieving a chlamydia diagnosis rate of at least 2,300 per 100,000 young people aged 15-24. Modelling suggests that achieving a diagnosis rate of >2,300 will contribute to further reducing the prevalence of chlamydia.
