ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the causes and frequency of diarrhea among Australian tourists traveling to Southeast Asia. The study will focus on adults who are planning to visit countries like Cambodia, Indonesia, and Thailand for 14 to 28 days. By understanding more about travelers' diarrhea, the researchers hope to improve treatments and preventive measures for future travelers.

To join the study, participants need to be at least 18 years old, currently living in Australia, and have a trip planned to one of the selected Southeast Asian countries within the next month. They should also be willing to complete all study activities, which will continue for about 28 days after their trip. It's important that participants have access to a smartphone and mobile service while traveling so they can stay connected throughout the study. If someone is interested, they will need to give their permission to take part in the research.
