Listed stratification system in case study | Yes (classification + activities) | No | Yes (classification only) | Yes for period 1979–1982 | No | Yes | No | Yes | No, but information on type of foci classification and response detailed |
Last year of updated stratification system | 2012 | No info | 2008, was planned for 2013 | No info | No info | 1996, 2010, 2013 | As of 2010, stratified case based interventions to be designed | In place from 1977 onwards (through to publishing of case study) | Focus register established and updated (2004–2010) |
