Project Description

 

The MSTIC study was funded by the UK Medical Research Council and undertaken by a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, epidemiologists, public health experts, mathematical modellers, and web-designers from NHS Trusts and academic centres across England.

The MSTIC study team has developed an evidence-based decision-making tool to help inform decision-making choices regarding the impact of different combinations of health services on the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in local populations. This tool presents the results of a mathematical model of STI transmission as a web-based software tool, enabling service-planners to utilise the results of the mathematical model without needing to be experts in mathematical modelling, epidemiology or IT.
