Chlamydia testing: where are we now? Recruiting high-risk women to a pilot STI screening trial

‘Test n Treat (TnT)’– Rapid testing and same-day, on-site treatment to reduce rates of chlamydia in sexually active further education college students: study protocol for a cluster randomised feasibility trial

“…Honoraria will be provided both to facilitate recruitment [ 15 , 16 ] and to encourage participants to return repeat samples at the end of the trial. (We have ethical approval for honoraria and have shown them to be very effective [ 16 ]). Participants will be given £5 when they return completed sample packs at recruitment, and £10 at the final 7-month follow-up.…”

“… Key values to inform feasibility, sample size, and timescales of a full trial of TnT in FE colleges: Recruitment rates: Recruitment rate: colleges and students Time taken to recruit 80 participants at each site Age, gender, and ethnicity of students recruited versus not recruited [ 16 ] Testing and treatment uptake rates (1 and 4 months after recruitment): Testing and treatment uptake rates, in intervention sites only Time from provision of sample to treatment of chlamydia positives Follow-up rates (at 7 months): Percentage providing samples at all sites Percentage completing final questionnaires (including data on healthcare usage) Prevalence of chlamydia in participants at each site at baseline and at 7 months. Chlamydia prevalence at baseline will enable us to refine the ICC, and prevalence at 7 months to refine the estimated effect size, both required for sample size calculations for the substantive trial A perspective on the acceptability of TnT in FE colleges, emerging from qualitative interviews with purposively sampled students and college staff Health economic analysis (as described above) …”
