Geographical variation in maternal-reported deworming equity by country and sex

We estimated an equity index for deworming at a subnational level for each study country, which provided data on within country variation of deworming equity. The analysis was conducted independently by sex for comparison of equity by sex for each study country. The width of each box provides the 2·5th and 97·5th percentile of the equity index computed for each country. For interpretation, the width of each bar corresponds with the magnitude of within country variation in equity; in which a negative index indicated deworming was concentrated in wealthier households, whereas a positive index indicated deworming was concentrated in poorer households. The vertical line in each bar represents the mean equity index.
