1 Municipal areas included districts of Kilindini (Coast province), Nairobi West (Nairobi province), and Kisumu East (Nyanza province).

2 Weighted row percentage shown across SES quintiles. For example of dispensaries surveyed, 21.0% were in the poorest quintile of all facilities surveyed, and 18.9% were in the least poor quintile of facilities surveyed. The number of facilities per quintile is not equal as sampling weights are used in calculating the quintile cut-offs

3 Difference across groups tested using chi-squared test; *=p<0.05; **=p<0.01.
