- Aim: The aim of the study was to get a deeper understanding of sexual risk-taking, by interviewing young people diagnosed with Chlamydia trachomatis. Method: This qualitative study was conducted at a youth clinic in Umeå, Sweden. Five young women and four men, aged 18—22, participated. In-depth interviews were performed. Open questions around certain themes were posed, such as thoughts about getting CT, sexual encounters, and attitudes towards condoms. Interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed according to grounded theory. Norms, events, and emotions were explored. The goal was to develop credible and applicable concepts concerning sexual relationships, risk-taking, and experiences of CT. Results: Informants revealed that behind their sexual risk-taking was a drive to ``go steady''. Lust and trust were the guidelines if sex was going to take place. When discussing ``one-night stands'' gender stereotypes occurred. Females were expected to be less forward compared with males. We found an uneven distribution of responsibility concerning condoms. Males expected females to be ``condom promoters''. By catching CT, females experienced guilt, while males felt content through knowing ``the source of contamination''. Conclusion: An important public health issue is to implement how males should play an equal part in reproductive health. General CT screening of males is one suggestion.

- AIMS: Research has raised concerns about gender bias in medicine, i.e. that men and women might be treated differently due to gender-stereotyped attitudes among physicians. The authors investigated gender differences in medical management of a common health problem, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). METHOD: In a national examination for Swedish house officers, the examinees were allocated to suggest management of IBS in either a male or female paper-patient. The case description was identical in both genders with the exception of prior prostate and gynaecological symptoms. The open answers were coded for analysis. A total of 289 physicians (45% women) participated. Chi-squared tests were used to measure differences in proportions. RESULTS: In variables focusing on medication, weight, gynaecological problems, tobacco, alcohol, thyroid function, proposed diagnoses, X-ray of the colon, and advice about lifestyle, significant or close to significant gender differences were seen. Both male and female physicians made gender differences but they did not show the same pattern of differences. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that gender bias is involved in medical management of IBS but men and women physicians may show disparate patterns of gender bias. There is a need for larger studies on gender differences in medical management with designs making it possible to consider the gender of both the patient and the physician. Furthermore, the results call attention to 'knowledge-mediated gender bias', a phenomenon implying that once knowledge about gender differences in a condition has been established, this might in fact cause gender-biased assessments of individual patients in clinical practice.
