Updating the meningitis belt: associations between environmental factors and epidemic meningitis risk across Africa- Supporting data

This data supports the analysis and figures generated as part of the publication- Updating the meningitis belt: associations between environmental factors and epidemic meningitis risk across Africa Figure2_rainfall, Figure2_dust, Figure2_temperature, Figure2_windspeed and Figure2_humidity, have values containing the climatic variable averages for k mean clustering technique across months. These files are used in plotting the graphs within Figure 2 ADMN2_outbreak_details.xlsx- File containing the ADMN district locations of meningitis epidemic history in Africa from 2003–2022. This file was used to generate the plot in Figure 4outbreak_counts.xlsx- File containing the number of outbreaks in ADMN districts across Africa from 2003–2022. This file was used to generate the plot in Figure 5Cluster_epidemic_analysis.xlsx- File containing the final k means cluster values for each of the ADMN2 districts used within the final logistic regression model. This file was used to generate Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5, as well as the relevant sensitivity analysis within the Extended dataModel_epidemic_prediction.xlsx- File containing results of the logistic regression model, and has both the predicted risk and category used within our final predictive risk map. This file was used to generate Figure 6 and supports the results of our full model's sensitivity and specificity.
