Table 2. Global autocorrelation analysis of the number of out-of-school youth HIV/AIDS cases in China, 2010–2020.

Year	Moran’s I	Z Score	P value
Note: If Moran’s I ≠ 0 and Z ≥ 1.96 or Z ≤ –1.96, the distribution of cases is indicated as spatially correlated. If Moran’s I was close to 0 and Z values ranged between –1.96 and 1.96, the cases were randomly distributed and there was no correlation.
