Infertility Prevention Project - Region 8
JSI received supplemental funds from the CDC to coordinate infrastructure activities in Region 8 for a national infertility prevention program. The program was based on the premise that timely treatment for Chlamydia trachomatis can reduce the debilitating complications caused by this sexually transmitted disease, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, and infertility. The program's goal is to provide routine screening and treatment services for Chlamydia trachomatis infection in family planning and sexually transmitted diseases clinics. JSI advised the program on data collection and maintenance, service protocols and the development of quality assurance systems. JSI also evaluated regional data, and coordinated trainings as well as regular advisory committee meetings.

The project continues under a new contract
