Kershaw Published in September Issue of Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health

New Haven, Conn. The September issue of Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health will include an article published by Trace Kershaw, PARTNRS Principle Investigator, titled "Using Clinical Classification Trees to Identify Individuals at Risk of STDs During Pregnancy." The research team used a classification tree analysis to produce empirically driven decision tools that identify risk factors for STDs during pregnancy that are not captured by traditional risk screenings.

Kershaw co-authored the manuscript with several colleagues including Jessica Lewis, Claire Westdahl, Yun F. Wang, Sharon Schindler Rising, Zohar Massey and Jeannette Ickovics.
