I noticed in your uploaded files that we are seeing increases in cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea in Allegany County. Have you noticed any increase in the number of people seeking to be tested? In your experience, what % of people seeking to be tested are having symptoms of disease, and what % is not having any symptoms at all, but are just concerned?

Great questions! I do not believe there has been an increase in any specific population seeking testing. In my experience, about half of the individuals that present to clinic for a routine screening and test positive for chlamydia and/or gonorrhea are not having symptoms.

Would be interesting to look at these data and carve out categories. I wonder how many deaths were related to alcohol alone, without any other substance.

The Allegany County Association of Student Councils worked hard to create a really nice underage drinking prevention campaign. A billboard was created, along with radio ads, a snap chat filter, and geofencing digital advertising. Great job Student Council leaders on reaching out to your fellow peers!!!
