In 2019, there were 2.5 million reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in the USA, young people aged 15-24 made up 61% and 42% of chlamydia and gonorrhoea cases, respectively. Moreover, the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were reported among college-aged students. In this paper, we outline our protocol to systematically review the published literature on, the use of STI/HIV self-test kits, increasing STI/HIV testing uptake, and stigma, access and confidentiality issues, among young adult college students in the USA.
This scoping review will be conducted and reported according to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. We will search electronic databases, OVID Medline, OVID Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed and CINAHL, for articles published in English from inception to the present. We will search other alternative sources such as ProQuest, Google Scholar and Google to identify grey literature. A two-step process will be used to identify eligible studies based on the defined inclusion criteria. First, the title and abstract of identified articles will be screened for possible inclusion. Second, full-text articles of relevant studies will be retrieved and screened for inclusion. Both screening steps will be done by two people independently. Finally, data will be extracted by two researchers working independently. Any arising disagreements will be resolved by consensus or by a third author.
This study is a scoping review of the literature. Therefore, ethics approval is not required. Our plan for the dissemination of findings includes peer-reviewed manuscripts, conferences and webinars.
2019 年，报告了 250 万例衣原体、淋病和梅毒病例。美国疾病控制与预防中心报告称，在美国，15-24 岁的年轻人分别占衣原体和淋病病例的 61%和 42%。此外，性传播感染（STI）的发病率最高的是大学生群体。在本文中，我们概述了我们的方案，以系统地回顾美国大学生中使用性传播感染/艾滋病毒自检试剂盒、增加性传播感染/艾滋病毒检测率、以及耻辱感、获取途径和保密性问题的相关文献。
本范围综述将根据系统评价和荟萃分析扩展的首选报告项目的指南进行，并报告。我们将搜索电子数据库，OVID Medline、OVID Embase、Web of Science、Cochrane 图书馆、PubMed 和 CINAHL，以查找从创建到现在以英文发表的文章。我们将搜索 ProQuest、Google Scholar 和 Google 等其他替代来源，以确定灰色文献。将使用两步法根据定义的纳入标准来确定合格的研究。首先，筛选标题和摘要以确定可能的纳入情况。其次，检索并筛选相关研究的全文以确定纳入情况。这两个筛选步骤将由两个人独立进行。最后，由两名独立研究人员提取数据。任何出现的分歧将通过共识或第三名作者来解决。
本研究是文献的范围综述，因此不需要伦理批准。我们发现的传播计划包括同行评议的手稿、会议和网络研讨会。
