1

Baseline number of deaths are cumulative from 2015 to 2030. MMC “decaying impact” models refer to a 1-y MMC; “sustained effect” models refer to a 15-y MMC. Results are rounded to the nearest 100, rounded to the nearest 10 (<1000), or not rounded (<100). CVD, cardiovascular disease; MMC, mass media campaign.

Number of baseline expected deaths; 95% CI in parentheses (all such values).

3

Reduction in the number of deaths; 95% CI in parentheses; percentage of reduction in CVD mortality in brackets (all such values).
