A Digital Patient Decision Aid to Increase Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing in the Emergency Department: The STIckER Study

"STIckER is an interactive and personalized intervention based on the principles of SDM that has been designed with input from the AYA ED patients and providers. STIckER guides AYA patients through a series of steps, beginning with scanning your STIckER. Participants complete risk assessments, SDM modules, and conclude with an anonymous final digital infographic that informs an SDM conversation with the medical provider. This decision aid seamlessly integrates into the ED workflow, recommending appropriate STI testing for high-risk individuals and using SDM concepts for those at intermediate risk."

"After enrollment but before the start of their clinical visit, AYA participants assigned to a provider in the control arm will scan a QR code. They will receive a prompt stating, If you would like to be tested for a sexually transmitted infection today, please tell your medical doctor."
