Predictive logistic regressions for acute STI diagnosis were run. Model 1 only considered demographic and clinical variables; Model 2 also included enhanced behavioural data (number of partners, new partners, and condom use in the past 3 months).Results 936,251 and 619 patient-episodes were included in Models 1 and 2 respectively, of which 11% and 4% involved an STI diagnosis. In Model 1, predicted risk of STI diagnosis ranged between 1–47% (pseudo-R2: 1.9%). Referring the riskiest (highest decile) patients to more intensive interventions gives a sensitivity and specificity of 70% and 45%, respectively, and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 13% for STI diagnosis. In Model 2 the predicted risk of STI was 0–53% (pseudo-R2: 23%), and referring the riskiest patients demonstrated an improved sensitivity (76%), specificity (87%) and PPV (25%).Discussion/conclusion Routinely collected surveillance data can be used to triage young people for targeted risk-reduction interventions, but this is more robust if behavioural data are taken into account. Addition of behavioural data to routine STI surveillance (GUMCADv3) is a powerful way to target sexual health promotion. %U https://sti.bmj.com/content/sextrans/92/Suppl_1/A14.1.full.pdf
