Coefficients (and associated p-values) for multivariate linear regression examining the association of programme-relevant covariates with the force of infection (FOI, measured as the parasite establishment rate). The FOI is estimated following 1, 2, and 3 rounds of praziquantel treatment at follow-up years FY1, FY2, FY3 in Uganda
