title: Evaluating the utility of a bipolar self-test screening measure.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To detail the methodology of an online study designed to test the utility of a bipolar self-test screening measure.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This paper details the overall study strategy that will be reported on after a large finite sample has been derived.
