Practice questions
- In the cited study of men with urethritis, which method was used to identify the selected organisms?
- Which organism was detected in 26 of the 200 men in the cited urethritis study?
- A report of the 200-man urethritis cohort states that C. trachomatis was detected in 19 participants. What proportion does this represent?
- Which symptom was reported by 138 participants in the cited study?
- The urethritis study tested for N. gonorrhoeae, but its abstract gives no detected frequency for that organism. What is the most defensible interpretation?
- Which conclusion is justified by the reported urethritis study design and findings?
- In the cited cohort, 150 of 200 participants reported that they did not usually use protection during intercourse. Which statement best describes this finding?
- How many participants in the 200-man cohort reported prior sex education, according to the study?
- Which organism had the lowest explicitly reported detection frequency among the three organisms for which the abstract provides results?
- Which statement about the study's urine samples is supported by the report?
- Who is identified in the supplied review as the discoverer of Mycoplasma genitalium?
- The supplied review characterizes Mycoplasma genitalium as increasingly concerning in part because of which feature?
- Which reproductive-health consequence is specifically described in the supplied review in connection with M. genitalium?
- A clinician notes that M. genitalium was detected in 4 of 200 men in one urethritis cohort. Which interpretation best reconciles this result with the review's description of the organism as commonly diagnosed?
- According to the supplied review, Taylor-Robinson's research interest later focused particularly on which area?

- The supplied prevention overview specifically focuses on sexual health in which population?
- Which statement is supported by the supplied prevention overview regarding gay and bisexual men who have sex with men?

- In what year was the enhanced GUMCAD specification introduced to capture gender identity and selected behavioural information?
- In 2023, 224 of 241 publicly commissioned sexual health services submitted enhanced GUMCAD data. Which approximate submission coverage did the report give?
- Among 4,610,410 sexual-health consultations in 2023, how complete was reporting of gender identity in the supplied GUMCAD report?
- In the 2023 GUMCAD data, what proportion of consultations had information on whether gender identity varied from sex registered at birth?
- The GUMCAD report gives 0.4% for transgender women among 2023 consultations. What is the correct denominator for interpreting this figure?
- Which type of GUMCAD information was reported to be less complete than gender identity in the 2023 data?
- A GUMCAD analysis has incomplete recent-partner data for many consultations. Which analytic response is most appropriate?
- Why did the GUMCAD enhancement add gender-identity and selected behavioural variables, according to the supplied report?
- Which statement correctly distinguishes the GUMCAD report's figures for transgender women, transgender men, and gender-diverse people?
- Which interpretation best explains why consultation counts in GUMCAD should not automatically be treated as counts of unique people?
- Which combination correctly matches the two data sources and their primary focus in the supplied literature?
