Estimates of multi-level (two-level) logistic regression model for the association between community-level utilization of malaria interventions and malaria infection in low transmission area, Sudan 2016.
Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.39 (95% CI 0.33–0.46) [null model]
Total number of observations = 19,901, Total number of clusters (level two units) = 242
cOR crude odds ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence interval, aOR (for the final model) adjusted odds ratio, ACTs artemisinin-based combination therapies, LLINs long-lasting insecticidal nets
