个人简介
Delia Scholes, PhD, is an epidemiologist with a special interest in contraception and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). She and colleagues at the University of Washington (UW) led groundbreaking work in 1996 showing that routine screening for chlamydia infection dramatically reduced one of its most serious and common health consequences—pelvic inflammatory disease. These findings impacted the United States Preventive Services Task Force's screening guidelines and prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to include selective chlamydia screening as an outcome measure in evaluating the performance of managed care organizations. Working with Senior Investigator (Emeritus) Robert S. "Tommy" Thompson, MD, Dr. Scholes also conducted a randomized trial to increase providers' adherence to screening guidelines.
More recently, Dr. Scholes has led a series of studies showing that the hormonal contraceptive depo-provera is linked to bone loss in adolescent and young adult women. Dr. Scholes' 2002 analyses included participants who stopped using the contraceptive, and she and her team were able to demonstrate that the bone loss was largely reversible. She presented these and subsequent findings at the World Health Organization's (WHO) technical consultation on hormonal contraception in 2005—when the organization was considering adding a warning related to depro-provera use and bone loss to its contraceptive use guidelines.
