Web-based coital diaries improve data quality for studying infections like human papillomavirus (HPV). This method enhances participant privacy and reduces costs compared to traditional paper diaries.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Coital data quality is crucial for understanding infection transmission.
  • Traditional paper diaries face challenges in implementation and cost.
  • Web-based data collection offers enhanced privacy, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt coital diaries for web-based data collection.
  • To assess the feasibility and methodology of online data collection for epidemiologic studies.
  • To investigate transmission rates of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an online sexual behavior questionnaire (diary) for women, completed bi-weekly over 3 years.
  • Utilized a single online sexual behavior questionnaire (journal) for men.
