Pearson's ᵡ2 test; $Fisher’s exact test. *p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. PHISF: % people in homes with inadequate sanitation facilities; VP: % vulnerable to poverty; PWS (< 8 years): % pregnant woman < 8 years of schooling; PWT (≤ 19 years): % pregnant woman teenager (≤ 19 years); LBPC (≥ 7): % LB with ≥ 7 prenatal care; LBR non-white: % LB race/non-white color. Median: PHIBW = 62.88%; VP = 33.87%; PWS (< 8 years) = 29.84%; PWT (≤ 19 years) = 23.96%; LBPC (≥ 7) = 68.39%; LBRC non-white = 69.75%. Note: The high-risk cluster for PS in Nova Bandeirantes was excluded from this analysis because it was a single-year event (2011).
