Introducing video consultations at public sexual health clinics in the Netherlands: a mixed-methods study.

Video consultations (in combination with remote STI testing) can benefit both public sexual health clinics (SHCs) and their clients. The Dutch public SHCs explored the extent to which video consultations are accepted and appreciated-compared to face-to-face consultations-by both young clients (under 25 years) and nurses who normally carry out consultations. A mixed-methods study, using online questionnaires and telephone interviews with both young clients (aged under 25 years) and nurses (focus groups), was conducted to evaluate acceptance and appreciation of video and face-to-face consultations of the SHCs.
