*RR the ratio in the mean number of consultations for each service in the intervention and control facilities in each week, adjusted for district, facility type (dispensary or health center), catchment population, total clinical staff per 1000 catchment population per facility, timing of other campaigns. P-values for interaction test the hypothesis that the effect of time period in relation to the HPV vaccination campaign on activity (counts of consultations) differs between the intervention and control facilities i.e. the campaign weeks have an effect on activity in intervention facilities but not on control facilities

Italicised data indicates the relative change in the number of mean consultations per week, within each region, between the specified time-periods around the vaccination campaign
