What does this measure?

The number of people who are reported to be infected with chlamydia, per 10,000 residents within Monroe County, broken down by race/ethnicity.

Why is this important?

Sexually transmitted diseases are preventable ailments that can cause harmful and costly complications, including reproductive health problems, fetal and perinatal health problems, and cancer.

How is our region performing?

Among other ethnic groups, Hispanic or Latino rates were 110 in the County and 152 in the City, and white rates were 21 in the County and 39 in the City.
