Abstract
- The article reports on a study which describes the experience of clients who availed of a self-booking system in a walk-in sexual health center located in London, England. It says that the service offered contraception and the management of sexually transmissible infections (STI) through take-home pregnancy tests and tests for chlamydia and gonorrhoeae via condoms dispensed from a free vending machine. The study documented the uptake of the self-management options, presented the attitudes of users towards self-management and identified how the option could lead to sexual health service improvement. It concluded that self-management in clinical centers could free up clinical capacity to a certain degree by identifying those who do not need to see a clinician.
