A core function of the Region IV Infertility Prevention Project (IPP) is to collect and report Prevalence Monitoring data on chlamydia and gonorrhea testing and positivity conducted throughout eight southeastern States, or Project Areas:  Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

This information is collected by each Project Area according to national data standards, and collated by the Regional Infrastructure (Cicatelli Associates Inc.) for submission to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  The data are included in CDC’s Chlamydia Surveillance Supplement Annual Report, and shared within the Region and Project Areas on an ongoing basis in order to support program evaluation and monitoring efforts.
