There are two options to provide a urine sample: at a pathology collection centre or by using a home mailing kit. The study aimed to trial these two testing options designed for young people and describe which is the preferred testing choice. Methods: Data for online requests made from 3 August 2017 to 31 December 2019 provides information for age, gender, location of clients, results received, treatment and partner notification reported by people with positive results. Results: For 29 months, there were 4642 Webtest requests and 2906 valid results received. For young people (16\u201329 years), chlamydia positivity was 8.2% (172\/2105; 95% CI, 7.1\u20139.4) versus 3.2% (26\/801; 95% CI, 2.2\u20134.7) for people aged \u226530 years, and 6.8% (198\/2906; 95% CI, 6.0\u20137.8) for all ages. Home mailing kits were the most popular testing choice, with 68.0% (1977\/2906) of results received from urine submitted by post and 32.0% (929\/2906) via pathology collection centre. Conclusions: The free online test request service engaged young people at risk of sexually transmissible infections and found home sample collection was most popular.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh21029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,21]],"date-time":"2021-06-21T02:53:49Z","timestamp":1624244029000},"page":"254-259","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Free online chlamydia and gonorrhoea urine test request in Queensland, Australia: convenience of home sample collection versus pathology collection centre attendance for faster results"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5400-9260","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Anita","family":"Groos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ACommunicable Diseases Branch, Queensland Department of Health, 15 Butterfield Street, Herston, Qld 4006, Australia."},{"name":"ECorresponding author.
