  • Young people’s perceptions of smartphone-enabled self-testing and online care for sexually transmitted infections

    Open AccessCatherine Aicken, Catherine R H Aicken et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Remote STI self-testing and online care appealed to these young people.

We propose 2 new epidemiological concepts to quantify PN impact: “[the] absolute reduction in onward transmission” and its reciprocal, “[the] number needed to treat to …

Joint‐working between health, education, voluntary sectors and parents has been heralded as key in redressing inequalities in sexual health outcomes and access to information. Our study foc…
