Exploring Short-Term Responses to Changes in the Control Strategy for Chlamydia trachomatis

Table 2

Annual costs of screening and partner notification (PN) when screening coverage is increased to 25% and tracing efficiency to 40%. Costs are shown for one year and three years after the change. The first row shows the case at the 8% baseline steady state.
