VPD = Vaccine preventable disease

*Regression models included: intervention group, subject, survey round, intervention group*survey round interaction term, and controlled for sex, age, years of experience and rayon. Linear and multinomial regression performed using generalized linear model in SAS (Proc Genmod), with generalized estimating equation (GEE) used to account for correlations between subjects with repeated measures.

Impact of intervention assessed by intervention group*survey round interaction term.
