Nested units City blocks Households Households reporting infestations Households inspected Households inspected and found infested
Participating districts, n = 8 5,955 79,972 301 785 145
Infested localities, n = 256 4,755 67,218 258 714 133
Targeted areas 3,727 56,491 225† 613 116‡

*Reporting and inspected households during surveillance are counted from January 2009 through end of December 2012. 
†Households in targeted city blocks have a similar rate of report and risk of being positive during the surveillance phase as other households in their districts: odds ratio 1.12, p = 0.45; and 0.94, p = 0.77, controlling for diversity between districts.
‡Among these households, 77 were reporting households (35% of the 219 inspected reporting households).
