provided fully accurate and comprehensive information on chlamydia. Conclusion The marked variation in content, quality and accuracy of available smartphone apps combined with the relatively high proportion that contain harmful information, significantly risks undermining the potential health benefits of an e-health approach to sexual health promotion and information. Disclosure of interest statement Nothing to declare. Results Two additional studies were identified. One for HPV strengthened the evidence base for external genital warts (EGW) as a marker of CSA, reporting 50% of children sexually abused. The evidence base is "a significant proportion (31-58%) have been abused and a revised recommendation to refer children <13 yrs for child protection assessment. One study was for Neisseria gonorrheae also supported the previous evidence statement (sexual abuse reported in 36-83%). The evidence has not changed significantly; GC, CT, and TV are most likely sexually transmitted and for children with HPV a significant number are sexually transmitted. Referral to child protection services is advised for all under 13 yr olds with GC, CT, TV, EGW; and for syphilis, HIV/Hepatitis B/C/Herpes genitalis sexual abuse should always be considered if other modalities have been excluded; infection in the mother does not exclude CSA. Conclusion Children under 13 yrs presenting with an STIs should have CSA considered and be referred for a child protection assessment unless (rarely) evidence to the contrary. Introduction Chlamydia is the most common notifiable sexually transmitted infection (STI) in Australia, mostly affecting people aged 29 years and under. Offering testing in an outreach setting is an effective strategy for engaging young people and reducing the number of undiagnosed infections. Our service developed a model for Aboriginal Health Education Officers (HEOs) and Health Promotion Officers (HPOs) to offer urine chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing at community events. To enhance knowledge, confidence and skills, the Clinical Nurse Consultant and other specialist clinicians developed a comprehensive training package. The package includes an operations manual, lesson plan, presentation, role play scenarios, checklists, knowledge quiz and competency assessment. Topics include confidentiality, assessing risk and specimen collection procedures. Ongoing support from the clinical service is provided. Methods Participants completed a pre and post training survey to measure knowledge and confidence in undertaking urine chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing in an outreach setting. The survey asked for responses to six statements on a scale of 1 (not at all) to 5 (completely). The average scores for each statement pre and post were calculated. Results A total of nine staff completed the training between August 2014 and January 2015. The staff were from varying disciplines including Aboriginal HEO, HPOs, social work and student nursing. Eight pre and post surveys were completed. For all statements there was an increase in the average scor...
