This could cause some ethical issues because of the lack of information (Torrone et al., 2015). Without a subsequent amount of information the validity of the results could be questioned or not as strong. The authors state that at the time of consumption for the females information was incomplete and that many variables had to be left out of the study (Torrone et al., 2015). It is crucial when performing a study with such a sensitive topic as Chlamydia that you have all facts, data, and variables present and accurate to ensure that your results are valid and reliable. The authors also state that about 6% of intakes were not screened which could alter the results of the study(Torrone et al., 2015). The authors discuss that some of the missing information could have a negative effect on the results if it was not missing from natural purposes (Torrone et al., 2015). At least 10% of data charts were missing, although that is a small amount, that 10% could have slightly changed the results and demographics of the study (Torrone et al., 2015). This study does not represent the information on chlamydia for all juvenile facilities but just for this specific facility in San Diego. Lastly, the variable concerning the number of sex partner that each female had did not specifically address a time period (Torrone et al., 2015). This is a significant ethical issue because it could greatly impact the results of when and how rapidly chlamydia infected the
