Recent estimates suggest that while representing 25% of the ever sexually active population, 15 to 24 years of age acquire nearly half of all new STD" (Special focus profiles: Adolescents and young adults, 2007, Surveillance 2006: CDC).
Explained the type of epidemiology used
While most of the data compiled is based upon statistical evidence from clinics and hospitals, in addition to this analytical methodology, research indicates in a descriptive fashion that teenage girls are particularly at risk as well because of physical reasons: "the greater the number of sex partners, the greater the risk of infection. Because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured and is probably more susceptible to infection, they are at particularly high risk for infection if sexually active" (Special focus profiles: Adolescents and young adults, 2007, Surveillance 2006: CDC). Men who engage in unprotected intercourse with other men may be at risk because of the physical nature of their intercourse. Men or women who have receptive anal intercourse may acquire anal chlamydial infection and chlamydia can also be found in the throats of women and men having oral sex with an infected partner (Special focus profiles: Adolescents and young adults, 2007, Surveillance 2006: CDC).
Describe the relationship of the disease to various levels of prevention

Improving teen education, particularly about teens' greater risk of contracting the ailment and the health consequences of doing so is vital to preventing the spread of chlamydia. Although young girls appear to be more at risk, educating boys is also a vital component of stopping the illness, as they may infect their female partners and be less motivated or aware of the consequences of the disease to themselves and to their partners.

Epidemiology Definition and Description of Epidemiology The word epidemiology was derived from the Greek words where "epi" means upon, "demos" means people, and "logos" means study. Epidemiology can be defined in detail as the study of distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations, and the application of this study to the prevention and control of health problems. (Last, 2001) Here, in the definition the distribution refers to analysis of persons,
The "where" category is at the right corner, and can be delineated as Fulton, Georgia. All three categories interact with each other to offer conclusions for the study. Additional factors such as child abuse and the crime rate can then be examined in terms of these categories. According to Rosenberg & Handler, descriptive epidemiology focuses on the pattern and frequency of health issues for a population group, while analytic epidemiology
Abortion trends varied widely by state as well. "Teenage abortion rates were highest in New York (41 per 1,000), New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware and Connecticut. By contrast, teenagers in South Dakota (6 per 1,000), Utah, Kentucky, Nebraska and North Dakota all had abortion rates of eight or fewer per 1,000 women aged 15 -- 19. More than half of teenage pregnancies ended in abortion in New Jersey, New York and
Therefore, the issue of teenage pregnancy needs special attention. All countries, especially should work more seriously on its moral code that teenagers should wait until adulthood in order to start sexual relations with their partners. Teenagers needs guidance that their teenage life in this competitive world should be spent in learning, becoming fully civilized and not throwing themselves in sexuality, pregnancy and parenthood issues, which are too early for them
