在过去的25年里，我们，性传播疾病（STD）研究界，一直试图估计衣原体感染在各种环境和人群中的流行率。许多早期的努力是以诊所为基础的，通常涉及高危妇女。1，2随后的努力涉及选定的人群，如学校为基础的计划，大学生和军人的青少年。3-6应用基于人口的调查方法来估计衣原体感染的患病率，无论是在全国范围内，并在当地地区，如巴尔的摩，已经产生了对感染的负担在一般人群的见解。7-9最近，流行率估计已经发展到包括以新的和有趣的方式招募的人群，如互联网。10在这一期的《性传播疾病》中，Gaydos等人研究了一个年轻女性样本中衣原体感染的患病率，这些年轻女性选择通过一个基于互联网的项目进行衣原体检测。[11]这一方案已在前面描述过。10本研究的主要目的是比较在第三区寻求通过互联网进行检测的妇女与作为不孕症预防计划（IPP）一部分接受检测的妇女的感染率，该地区包括开展基于互联网的计划的马里兰州。在第三区，计划生育诊所、性病诊所和该方案的一些附属诊所对30岁的妇女进行衣原体感染的常规筛查。作者专注于IPP的计划生育部分，因为他们想表明“基于互联网的筛查可以在我们的'工具箱'中提供另一种工具，以增加筛查，并可能在'筛查'人群中表现出比计划生育筛查人群更高的阳性率。
For the past 25 years, we, the sexually transmitted disease (STD) research community, have been attempting to estimate the prevalence of chlamydial infection in a variety of settings and populations. Many early efforts were clinic-based, typically involving high-risk women. 1, 2 Subsequent efforts have involved selected populations, such as adolescents in school-based programs, college students, and military personnel. 3–6 The application of population-based survey methodology to the estimation of chlamydial infection prevalence, both nationally and in local areas such as Baltimore, have yielded insights into the burden of the infection in the general population. 7–9 Recently, prevalence estimation has evolved to include populations recruited in new and interesting ways, such as the internet. 10In this issue of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Gaydos et al. examine the prevalence of chlamydial infection in a sample of young women who chose to seek testing for Chlamydia through an internet-based program. 11 This program was described previously. 10 The primary purpose of the current study was to compare the prevalence of infection among the women seeking testing over the internet with women who underwent testing as a part of the Infertility Prevention Program (IPP) in Region III, which includes the State of Maryland where the internet-based program was conducted. In Region III, women 30 years of age are routinely screened for chlamydial infection in family planning clinics, STD clinics, and some additional clinics affiliated with the program. The authors focused on the family planning component of the IPP because they wanted to show that “internetbased screening could provide another tool in our ‘tool box’to increase screening and perhaps demonstrate a higher positivity in a ‘screening’population than a family planning screening population.”
