Abstract：
:To elicit the needs of asylum seekers attending the Royal Hallamshire genitourinary medicine clinic for the first time in 2002 and whether these differed from British patients, a search of patient records for 2002 identified 43 asylum seekers (21 female, 22 male) who were paired with 43 British patients matched by age and sex (mean age 27.9, range 15-56). The needs of the patients were ascertained by retrieving answers to predetermined questions from the paper records. Asylum seekers had 166 appointments while British patients had 113 (P = 0.091) and 21 DNAs (did not attend appointment), compared with seven British DNAs (P = 0.071). Twenty-eight asylum seekers and no British patients needed an interpreter (P < 0.01). Five of the 18 eligible asylum seeker females had an up-to-date smear compared with 13 British females (P = 0.008). Nineteen asylum seekers reported sexual violence compared with none of the British patients (P < 0.011); 15 of these asylum seekers were receiving/had requested counselling. There was no significant difference in the numbers of pregnant women, commercial sex workers and intravenous drug users, and patients reporting a previous history of sexually transmitted infection. There are some differences between the needs of asylum seekers and British patients; the most noticeable are the use of interpreters, the reporting of sexual violence, the need for counselling and the number of women without up-to-date smears. A larger study may highlight more differences.
