  • Enhancing surveillance of sexually transmitted infections in England with gender identity and behavioural data: The GUMCAD STI Surveillance System
    Hamish Mohammed, Stephanie J. Migchelsen, Stephen Duffell, Ana Karina Harb, Tika Ram, et al.
    Plos One, 2026
    Background There has been an increasing trend in bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in England since the early 2000s. Since 2008, surveillance of STIs in England has been conducted using the Genitourinary Medicine Clinic Activity Dataset (hereafter referred to as ‘GUMCAD’), a depersonalised dataset of all attendances at all publicly-commissioned sexual health services (SHS). The aim of is this article is to describe and evaluate the piloting and rollout of an enhanced specification of GUMCAD at SHS in England. Methods GUMCAD was enhanced in 2019 to allow SHS to report the gender identity (whether cisgender, transgender, gender diverse) of service users, and selected behavioural information collected during routine sexual history-taking such as the number of recent sex partners (last 3 months). Results Feasibility and acceptability of reporting these new data were confirmed in the pilot stage. 2023 was the first year over which most SHS (93%, 224/241) submitted enhanced GUMCAD data. Of all 4,610,410 consultations at SHS in 2023, gender identity (96% of consultations) and data on whether this varied from the sex registered at birth (88% of consultations) were well reported. Transgender women, transgender men, and gender-diverse individuals (identifying as non-binary or in any other way) respectively comprised 0.4%, 0.4%, and 0.5% of all consultations in 2023. There was less complete reporting of recent sex partners but, where reported, gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men were more likely to report multiple recent sex partners. Conclusions This enhancement provides novel insights into sexual health need relevant to targeting existing and novel preventative interventions for STIs such as 4CMenB vaccination for gonorrhoea and doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxyPEP) for syphilis in England. The reporting of these new STI surveillance data also raise new complexities in interpretation, and behavioural data completeness will require further support and development.

    Holly Fountain, Stephanie J. Migchelsen, Hannah Charles, Tika Ram, Helen Fifer, et al.
    Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2024
    After lifting of all COVID-19 preventive measures in England in July 2021, marked, widespread increases in gonorrhea diagnoses, but not testing numbers, were observed, particularly in persons 15–24 years of age. Continued close surveillance and public health messaging to young persons are needed to control and prevent gonorrhea transmission.

  • Effect of drivers' risk perception on safe driving attitude
    Tika Ram, Khem Chand
    International Journal of Vehicle Safety, 2015
    The study is based on a sample of 500 drivers taken from Rohtak district of Haryana in India. The four constructs viz. Traffic Rules (TR), Driving Responsibility (DR), Non-Driving Activities (NDA) and Risk Perception (RP) of study are defined by 21 items of the questionnaire. Structural equation modelling has been used to analyse the data. The results of the study indicate that there is significant effect of risk perception on drivers' attitude regarding NDA, driving responsibility and traffic rules. Traffic rules significantly directly and indirectly impact NDA. Driving responsibility and NDA are directly influenced by traffic rules. Driving responsibility directly affects NDA. Statistical properties are satisfactory to examine the effect of drivers' risk perception on safe driving attitude. The results of the study suggest that the state transport departments' focus on the risk perception of road accidents in driving training program can help in modifying drivers' attitude regarding safe driving.
