We are developing a digital tool that uses a computer program to diagnose abnormal spots in the genital area.
Individuals can ‘upload’ a photo of the abnormal area on their smart phone and the app will detect STIs and other common genital skin conditions.
This study will help us present the results in a meaningful, understandable manner without causing undue distress.

Who's eligible:

You are eligible if you

  • are 18 years old and above
  • have been sexually active in the past 12 months

Digital STI tool survey

What’s involved:

You are invited to complete an anonymous online survey which takes 5-10 minutes. No information will be collected that could identify you. If you complete the survey, you will be asked whether you would like to enter a lucky draw to win an AU$100 gift card.

Ten gift cards in total will be won. If you are willing to enter a lucky draw, you will be redirected to a separate survey to enter your contact details: name, mobile number and email address. Your contact details will not be linked to your responses to the main survey.

Once the prize draw is completed and the winners are contacted, the list of contacts will be permanently deleted. You cannot enter the lucky draw unless you complete the survey.

We anticipate that the lucky draw will be conducted in quarter 3 of 2024.
