Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among an internet panel. A questionnaire was sent to a sample of 227 panellists in October 2006. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the predictive value of the psychosocial factors for the intention to test. Results: The response rate was 88% (n = 200). Respondents with higher intentions to use a home self-test were younger, perceived themselves to be more susceptible to chlamydia, had more personal experience with chlamydia, felt a stronger moral obligation to do a test and had a higher level of response efficacy than those with lower intentions. Conclusions: This study provides topics for educational interventions aimed at encouraging chlamydia testing in general, and at developing a more effective use of home self-test. Awareness of personal behaviour and information about the probability of false positive and false negative test results with home self-tests should be elements of these interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh12061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,19]],"date-time":"2012-11-19T00:01:18Z","timestamp":1353283278000},"page":"93-94","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Psychosocial determinants of the intention to use a chlamydia home self-test: awareness of risk behaviour and test accuracy are important elements of educational interventions"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Gaby","family":"Ronda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ADepartment of General Practice, Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, School for Public Health and Primary Care (Caphri), Maastricht University, PO Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht, The Netherlands."},{"name":"BCorresponding author.
