“…44 Twenty-one randomised controlled trials [16][17][18][19][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] reported on eight comparisons of a method of enhanced patient referral compared with an alternative technology in patients with curable STIs ( Table 6). The updated search (5 January 2011 to 29 January 2012) identified 15 of these trials (9393 participants) [16][17][18][19][51][52][53][54][55][56][57]59,61,64,65 and six (5331 participants) 50,58,60,62,63 were included in the original review. Most trials (12) were conducted in the USA, 16,17,[50][51][52]…”

“…Previous systematic reviews of the relative effectiveness of different partner notification strategies for curable STIs did not find strong evidence for the superiority of simple patient referral, provider referral or contract referral, based on the intermediate outcomes that have been measured. 50 EPT has been developed as a new partner notification technology during the era of evidence-based medicine and has been evaluated in several large randomised controlled trials with repeat infection as a primary outcome. 16,[51][52][53] EPT involves the use of antibiotic treatment packages or prescriptions as enhancements to patient referral for infected patients with curable STIs.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, now part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as r...

“…Because only a few seeds are needed to find other members of a population, snowball sampling and other forms of link traced sampling methods can also be used to survey information on hidden or hard-to-reach populations. To collect data on connected actors, sociological (Schweizer 1998;Salentin 1999), anthropological (Jones 2003), and medical studies (Mathews et al 2001) use snowball studies. However, one must be aware that snowball samples include three major sources of bias.…”
