  1. CT: Chlamydia trachomatis; y/o: years of age
  2. aParticipants' weights were calculated based on the percentage of responses divided by percentage of invitations sent, per gender and age group
  3. bPost-stratification weights were calculated based on cross classified data on age, gender and province of residence from the national register. Additionally, the selection probability of an individual in the household (1 if household size ≤ 4, < 1 if household size > 4) was taken into account in the calculation of the weights. Household was included as a cluster variable
