Brief Summary
Background: Increase of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as well as increased use of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) among young people in Catalonia triggers the idea of designing a mobile phone application to promote partner notification. Objective: Design a web based tool adapted to Mobile phones for partner notification of STI among youngsters 16 to 24 years old and evaluate its role in increasing the "patient referral" partner notification. Methods: This is a multicentre randomised controlled trial with a proportional stratification of the sample by centre and random allocation of participants to the three arms of the study (simple web based intervention, game web based intervention and control). This study is conducted by midwives, gynaecologists and physicians in the sexual and reproductive areas of the primary health care centres. The study population is: 1- All youngsters 16 to 24 years old diagnosed with one of the three curable STIs, (Syphilis, gonococcus and chlamydia). 2- All partners of those diagnosed with the previous STIs, independently of their state of infection.
