I do risk mitigation at work for the disabled. Are UTI test strips a good product for assessing someone with a history of UTI's?

Sure, for someone who gets them often, as an aid to determine the need to see a doctor and if the instructions for them can be followed properly. They should probably be used if a doctor thinks it would be of value for a particular person. From what I read, they are not absolutely accurate and a person complaining of symptoms should still be seen by a doctor, even if the test shows negative for an uti.
