Table 1 Proportion of study participants who made a trip, by trip destination (on the Thai versus Myanmar side of the border or to another village versus forested area) and time (daytrips versus overnight trips)

From: Human population movement and behavioural patterns in malaria hotspots on the Thai–Myanmar border: implications for malaria elimination

  1. The proportions do not add up to 100% because individual participants engaged in multiple trip types (e.g. individuals are capable of both making trips to the Thai side and the Myanmar side). (\(\overline{d}\)) indicates the mean number of days by trip type
