From: Oral rehydration therapies in Senegal, Mali, and Sierra Leone: a spatial analysis of changes over time and implications for policy

Fig. 4

Changes over time in oral rehydration therapies by department in Senegal. a, b Percent of children that received any ORS (a) or only RHF (b) at four time points during the study: start of the study (2000), before the policy change to promote improved ORS and zinc as diarrhea treatment (2006), 6 years after the policy change (2012), and 5 years after the launch of the national ORS and zinc scale-up intervention (2017). Colored bands show the range of the mean estimates across northern departments in brown, south-western departments in blue, and the rest of the departments in orange. These divisions were chosen to highlight the largest differences between departments in 2000. Note that in order to clearly illustrate trends in ORS and RHF, scales on the y-axis differ between panels a and b. In addition, in order to focus on changes within three distinct time periods, the x-axis is not to scale by year. c, d RHF replacement by department from 2000 to 2006 (c) and 2000 to 2017 (d). Departments with > 95% posterior probability that RHF was not replaced by ORS are shown in darker purple. Departments where our estimates had higher uncertainty (< 95% posterior probability that RHF was either replaced or not replaced) are shown in light purple
