    (2021) Castillo, Carla; Gajardo, Pedro; Nájera, Manuel; Matute, Isabel; Hirmas, Macarena; Aguirre, Pablo; Ramírez, Héctor; Ramírez, Daniel; Aguilera, Ximena
    Syphilis, together with other sexually transmitted infections, remains a global public health problem that is far from controlled. People deprived of liberty are a vulnerable population. Control activities in prisons rely mostly on passive case detection, despite the existence of affordable alternatives that would allow switching to active case-finding strategies. Our objective was to develop a mathematical modelling framework for cost-effectiveness evaluation, from a health system perspective, of different approaches using rapid tests for the detection of syphilis in inmates' populations and to explore the results based on a Chilean male prison population.
