Evaluating the utility of a bipolar self-test screening measure.

Objective: To detail the methodology of an online study designed to test the utility of a bipolar self-test screening measure. Method: We describe the current technical success of an online methodology in recruiting a large sample with minimal cost. Results: Over some six months, more than 120 000 people accessed the Black Dog Institute Bipolar Self-Test, with screening criteria allowing a cohort to be recruited. Conclusion: This paper details the overall study strategy that will be reported on after a large finite sample has been derived. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
