Table 2.

Algorithm used to select a national prevalence

Prevalences were selected using the following hierarchy:
(1) National studies.
(2) Studies with multiple sites across the country.
(3) Regional/city levels studies.
If more there was than one study (for example several multi-site studies) then the weight mean was used (or mean if this could not be calculated) to obtain the selected prevalence.
