Article Synopsis
- - The study addresses the rising incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among young people and aims to improve knowledge and prevention strategies through a gamified training intervention for primary care professionals using an online video game called SEXIT.
- - A multicentre cluster randomized controlled trial will compare groups of primary care professionals who use the game with control groups not using it, measuring knowledge and clinical management of STIs before and after the intervention over six months.
- - The researchers anticipate that the intervention will lead to significant improvements in knowledge and clinical behaviors related to STIs, ultimately developing an engaging educational tool on sexuality and violence prevention.
