Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a serious public health issue in many countries. Online postal self-sampling (OPSS) is increasingly used to test for STIs, a trend accelerated by the COVID-1...
Participants were recruited via clinic-based and online sexual health services in three case study areas in England. Purposive sampling was used to over-represent populations disproportionately affect...
We interviewed 100 service users. Participants typically became aware of OPSS from sexual health services, the internet or word of mouth. Acceptability of OPSS was facilitated by the perceived privacy...
Our findings constitute one of the largest qualitative studies to have explored OPSS and offer valuable insights to providers. OPSS shapes access to STI testing in a number of ways, including facilita...
A decade ago paper questionnaires were more common in epidemiology than those administered online, but increasing Internet access may have changed this. Researchers planning to use a self-administered...
We exported data of randomised controlled trials included in three comparisons in the Cochrane Review that had evaluated hypotheses relevant to our research objective and imported them into Stata for ...
Twenty-seven trials (66,118 participants) evaluated the effect on response of an electronic questionnaire compared with postal. Results were heterogeneous (I-squared = 98%). There was evidence for bia...
Postal questionnaires should be used in preference to, or offered in addition to, electronic modes....
Occupational driving of light-duty vehicles (LDVs) became increasingly important in parcel delivery faced with the explosive growth of e-commerce. Since musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent the ...
There has been considerable expansion in online postal self-sampling (OPSS) STI services in many parts of the UK, driven by increasing demand on sexual health services and developments in diagnostics ...
A scoping review was conducted of studies published in English-language based on pre-agreed inclusion/exclusion criteria, between 01 January 2010 and 07 July 2021. Nine databases were searched, and 23...
Study designs were heterogeneous, including quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods analyses. The majority were either evaluating a single-site/self-sampling provider, exploratory or observational...
OPSS services appear highly acceptable to users. However, uptake appears to be socially patterned and some groups who bear a disproportionate burden of poor sexual health in the UK are under-represent...
To involve health service users in health care and health research priority setting, different methods exist. Which method is most suitable under which circumstances is unknown. We compared a postal D...
One hundred and eighty-four former rehabilitants were randomly assigned to a postal Delphi survey (n = 152) or an in-person workshop (n = 32). Two hundred and seventy-six employees in rehabilitation w...
Seventy-five former rehabilitants and 41 employees in rehabilitation completed both Delphi survey rounds. Eleven former rehabilitants participated in the in-person workshop. Priorities for practice im...
The differences in research priorities between the two methods could be due to the different samples, differences in the individual interests of participants or differences in the prioritization proce...
The different study phases were supported by employees in rehabilitation and former rehabilitants (e.g., developing study documents, and interpreting results)....
The need to integrate local resistances into clinical practice is increasingly urgent, especially in Primary Care where empirical treatment is frequent....
A retrospective observational study of positive microbiological isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from any location (urethral, cervical, pharyngeal, rectal or urine) was carried out in the health area...
We analyzed 256 microbiological samples of N.gonorrhoeae, most of them male (92.9%) with a mean age of 33 years. Half of the samples (49.8%) were resistant to ciprofloxacin. Temporal and spatial evolu...
Knowing local resistances can help to prescribe more adequate empirical treatments, especially in Primary Care, avoiding inadequate antibiotics and decreasing resistance rates....
Self-administered questionnaires are widely used to collect data in epidemiological research, but non-response reduces the effective sample size and can introduce bias. Finding ways to increase respon...
To identify effective strategies to increase response to postal and electronic questionnaires....
We searched 14 electronic databases up to December 2021 and manually searched the reference lists of relevant trials and reviews. We contacted the authors of all trials or reviews to ask about unpubli...
Randomised trials of methods to increase response to postal or electronic questionnaires. We assessed the eligibility of each trial using pre-defined criteria....
We extracted data on the trial participants, the intervention, the number randomised to intervention and comparison groups and allocation concealment. For each strategy, we estimated pooled odds ratio...
Postal We found 670 eligible trials that evaluated over 100 different strategies of increasing response to postal questionnaires. We found substantial heterogeneity amongst trial results in half of th...
Researchers using postal and electronic questionnaires can increase response using the strategies shown to be effective in this Cochrane review....
The UK pledged commitment to the global strategy of zero new HIV infections and HIV-related deaths by 2030. PrEP was commissioned in England in 2020 and is fundamental to achieving these targets, yet ...
Sexual Health London (SHL) incorporated questions on its e-triage questionnaire estimating need for PrEP amongst online service users. Two types of signposting messaging were shown to users directing ...
426,149 SHL users requested STI screening between 1.7.21-31.10.22. 16% (69,867/426,149) and 32.2% (137,489/426,149) of individuals received PrEP-eligible and PrEP-discussion signposting. The PrEP-elig...
The e-service demonstrated feasibility in estimating PrEP need and signposting service users. Up to 16% of returning users subsequently commenced PrEP. This highlights significant missed opportunities...
The purpose of this article is to describe the protocol development, feasibility, and lessons learned in the postal mail delivery of sleep monitoring devices to study participants. The original study ...
Worldwide there are an estimated 463 million people with diabetes. In the UK people with diabetes are offered annual review, which includes monitoring of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). This can identify peo...
It is hypothesised that people with diabetes could take finger-prick samples at home for measurement of HbA1c. This study will examine the agreement and correlation of capillary HbA1c values compared ...
A systematic review will be undertaken....
The core terms of 'Diabetes', 'HbA1c' and 'Capillary sampling' will be used to search MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science Core Collection...
A narrative synthesis will be produced to explore whether there are viable postal alternatives to venous sampling, as well as exploring acceptability and safety of patient self-collection....
