aClinic visitation, antimalarial, and antibiotic use based on the day after documented clinic visit at Lwak Hospital that the home visit was made, Asembo, rural western Kenya. Data from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007.
bFor anti-malarial and antibiotic recall, only those individuals with a known prescription given at Lwak hospital were included in the denominator.
cFor all six columns, the linear test for trend had a P-value <0.0001 for a decrease in recall from days 1–13; day 0 was excluded (see ‘Methods’ section).
dDay 0 is when the home visit is on the same day as the clinic visit.
