Intervention to Increase Condom Use Among Users of Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Self-Sampling Websites (Wrapped): Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia are common among young people and can lead to serious health issues if untreated. Although condoms are recommended for prevention, many young people report inconsistent use during penetrative sex. Web-based STI testing is becoming increasingly popular, but these services typically offer minimal support or guidance on preventing future infections. The "Wrapped" intervention aims to help young users of web-based STI testing use condoms consistently and correctly during penetrative sex, thus reducing future STI incidence.

Objective

This study aims to assess whether and how it is possible to conduct a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Wrapped intervention.

Methods

Users of web-based STI test
