Population-based surveys that use probabilistic sampling are a feasible way to obtain population estimates of C. trachomatis prevalence among young adults in Croatia, but it is challenging to obtain an adequate response rate. The prevalence of C. trachomatis among young adults in Croatia found in this study was higher than that found in other European countries with similar survey response rates
