Abstract: IMPACT: This work will estimate current EPT implementation in Minnesota and provide cost-effectiveness analyses of different implementation scenarios to inform STI treatment policy. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This research aims to 1) assess current implementation of Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) as treatment for C. Trachomatis (chlamydia) and N. Gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea) among healthcare providers in Minnesota and to 2) simulate the current burden of chlamydia and gonorrhea infections to test the cost-effectiveness of increasing EPT implementation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will conduct key informant interviews (KII) and an online survey of health providers across the continuum of care for chlamydia and gonorrhea treatment. Based on experience in prior studies, the KII sample size is expected to be about 15 informants. KIIs will be carried out among providers who submitted
