The objective of the study was to pilot the use of a mobile phone messaging application outside of the clinic setting to collect the type of sexual activity data which would be useful within preventive HIV vaccine trials. In this paper we describe the mobile phone responses and in-clinic paper-and-pencil based responses to sexual risk questionnaires, and correlate the difference in reporting sexual and behavioral risk data collected via two different methods: traditional in-clinic paper-based and more novel mobile-phone based questionnaires.
Note: All published information has been collected from the article referenced in the Marker Paper box below. Therefore, there may be variations with more advanced versions of the study.
