  1. The specific statistical models are specified in the Appendix. All models include calendar time in years, and all models except for the base model include a term “Enhanced CFA” indicating whether a particular district-year corresponds to one of the 209 districts selected for enhanced case finding activity. Models include tuberculosis incidence (state level), the average BCG coverage (state level), percent of grade 2 disability at diagnosis (state level), percent of cases in children (state level), or the fraction multibacillary (state level). Interaction with time is omitted, and then included, in each model in turn. Marginal R 2 values indicate the fraction of variance explained by the fixed effects, and conditional R 2 indicate the fraction of variance explained by both fixed and random effects; see text. Confidence intervals derived by spatial block bootstrap (with a radius of 1.5°; see text for details)
