* Out of 334 HFS facilities sampled: 4 were not feasible to access; 1 had merged with another clinic in our sampling frame; 4 were permanently closed; 6 did not have a provider available to give an interview during the fieldworkers’ visit to the area; 22 refused to provide an interview because they didn’t offer PAC; and 3 refused an interview for some other reason.
** Weighted by the inverse of the product of the sampling fraction and the response rate for each facility type to yield results that were nationally representative.
