Participants aged 18\u201329 years were recruited from a university environment between April and August 2013, and randomized 1:1 to either the intervention group (immediate online PCHMS access) or control group (no PCHMS access). The study outcome was self-reported STI testing, measured by an online follow-up survey in October 2013.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results Of the 369 participants allocated to the PCHMS, 150 completed the follow-up survey, and of the 378 in the control group, 225 completed the follow-up survey. The proportion of the PCHMS group who underwent an STI test during the study period was 15.3% (23\/150) compared with 7.6% (17\/225) in the control group (P = .017). The difference in STI testing rates within the subgroup of sexually active participants (20.4% (23\/113) of the PCHMS group compared with 9.6% (15\/157) of the control group) was significantly higher (P = .027) than among non-sexually active participants.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Discussion Access to the PCHMS was associated with a significant increase in participants undergoing STI testing. This is also the first study to demonstrate efficacy of a PCHMS targeting a health concern where susceptibility is generally perceived as low and the majority of infections are asymptomatic.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusion PCHMS interventions may provide an effective means of increasing the demand for STI testing which, combined with increased opportunistic testing by clinicians, could reduce the high and sustained rates of STIs in young people.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocu052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,16]],"date-time":"2015-03-16T00:12:00Z","timestamp":1426464720000},"page":"805-814","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A web-based personally controlled health management system increases sexually transmitted infection screening rates in young people: a randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Nathan J","family":"Mortimer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Informatics, Australian Institute of Health Innovation, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"}]},{"given":"Joel","family":"Rhee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"},{"name":"University Health Service, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Guy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kirby Institute, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Hayen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"}]},{"given":"Annie Y S","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Informatics, Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020110613010388700_ocu052-B1","article-title":"2012 STD Surveillance Chlamydia [Website]","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","year":"2014"},{"key":"2020110613010388700_ocu052-B2","volume-title":"Sexually Transmitted Infections in Europe 2011","author":"European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control","year":"2013"},{"key":"2020110613010388700_ocu052-B3","article-title":"National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System [Website]","author":"Australian Government Department of Health","year":"2014"},{"key":"2020110613010388700_ocu052-B4","article-title":"ACCEPtability: Updates from the Australian Chlamydia Control Effectiveness Pilot","author":"Hocking","year":"2012"},{"issue":"25","key":"2020110613010388700_ocu052-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2424","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMcp030542","article-title":"Clinical practice.
