摘要: Epidemiological studies in Malawi on child anaemia have neglected the community spatial effect to childhood anaemia. Neglecting model ignores influence of unobserved or unmeasured contextual variables, and at same time resultant may under estimate parameter standard errors which can result erroneous significance covariates. We aimed investigating risk factors with focus geographical effect.
