Key parameters used in the modelling for each of the sites. PWID population size and prevalence estimates shows mean (95% CI) unless otherwise stated. Mortality rates are given per year. The range for the number of PWID treated per 1000 PWID is estimated using the number of treatments in each site and the PWID population size. References are given in Tables S1a-S1k in Supplementary Material.
