After enrollment but before the start of their clinical visit, participants assigned to a provider in the control arm will scan a QR code. They will receive a prompt stating, "If you would like to be tested for a sexually transmitted infection today, please tell your medical doctor." At the end of the visit, the participant will complete the "Patient Control Exit Survey" while the provider will complete the "Provider Control Exit Survey". These participants will not receive STIckER training.
After enrollment but before the start of their clinical visit, participants assigned to a provider in the intervention arm will scan a QR code using their personal mobile phone at the start of their ED visit. If they do not have a mobile phone present, a secure password-protected tablet will be provided by the research staff. This will lead them to go through the STIckER decision aid modules. After completing the modules, participants will show the final outcome to their ED provider which may facilitate an SDM conversation about STI testing. At the end of the visit, the participant will complete the "Patient Intervention Exit Survey" while the provider will complete the "Provider Intervention Exit Survey.
