Timeliness of surveillance reporting pre and post training

	Intervention counties			Comparison counties
	Number of weekly reports received (a)	Number of expected weekly reports (b)	% Timeliness (a/b ×100)	Number of weekly reports received (c)	Number of expected weekly reports (d)	% Timeliness (c/d ×100)
before training (15 weeks period)	8572	28,352	30%	11,435	36,769	31%
after training (12 weeks period)	11,490	22,579	51%	11,164	29,290	38%
Difference before and after training			21% (95% CI 20.16–21.84)			7% (95% CI 6.27–7.73)
Chi square			2247			357
P value			< 0.0001			< 0.0001

The difference between the change of 21% in the intervention group and 7% in the comparison group is 14% and part of this can be attributed to the intervention
