Sociocultural and sociodemographic features that are heterogeneously associated with oral cholera vaccine acceptance across three endemic African settings at the medium price of USD 4–5
Figures in bold represent associations with p < 0.05 for individual settings
SE-DRC Southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo; W-Kenya Western Kenya
aVariables with heterogeneity (p-value < 0.1) and a significant estimate (p < 0.05) in at least one of the settings are presented. Each row represents an association of the variable with anticipated OCV acceptance and each row is not adjusted for other variables in the table
bSetting-specific logistic regression coefficient with 95 % confidence interval
cIndividual estimates for Zanzibar have been presented in Schaetti et al. [16]
