Randomized Trial of Home Versus Clinic-Based STD Testing
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- GonorrheaChlamydia
- Registration Number
- NCT01654991
- Lead Sponsor
- Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
- Brief Summary
This study randomizes St. Louis men to home-based STD screening or clinic-based STD screening. Home-based screening will be completed through the mail and clinic-based screening in a local clinical setting. We hypothesize that men randomized to home-based screening will be more likely to complete screening.
