Fortenberry comments on the issues addressed by Fine et al in conducting their research about health care services to improve young men's sexual health. The three key findings which are described in the study include first, the increase post-intervention visits by young men in the target clinics, compared in comparison clinics, second the number of Chlamydia trachomatis screening tests increased in the two intervention clinics, compared with the increase in the comparison clinics and third there was no relative change in services provided to women.
