Table 4. Summary of impact of screening on population prevalence of Chlamydia infections as computed by the model.

Chlamydia prevalence Decline in Chlamydia prevalence
at start of screening after 1 year of screening after 3 years of screening after 10 years of screening after 3 years of screening compared with prevalence at start of screening after 10 years of screening compared to no screening
year 2008 2009 2011 2018
national women 2.5% 1.8% 1.6% 1.5% 0.92pp 0.89pp
men 1.5% 1.1% 0.9% 0,9% 0.56pp 0.55pp
urban women 3.8% 2.8% 2.4% 2.6% 1.45pp 0.82pp
men 3.0% 2.2% 1.9% 2.1% 1.11pp 0.68pp

Declines are measures in percentage points (pp), i.e. the difference between two percentages. For comparison, the prevalence estimates derived from the positivity measures in the CSI program [13] are presented in Table 5.
