Summary of main results, by sex, coverage scenario and program type.

a“Correlated” uptake refers to a situation where vaccine uptake within the population is correlated with factors which also affect choice of sexual partners. “Unrelated” uptake refers to a situation where vaccine uptake is unrelated to any of these factors.bA pseudo Gini coefficient closer to zero represents more equal outcomes between subgroups; a pseudo Gini coefficient closer to the theoretical maximum represents more unequal outcomes between subgroups. Theoretical maxima for pseudo Gini coefficients are 0.8766 (“Australia” scenario), 0.8378 (“USA” scenario) and 0.5 (“extreme inequality” scenario).cRRL is the risk experienced by the subgroup with the lowest vaccine coverage relative to that in the subgroup with the highest vaccine coverage, obtained by dividing the age-standardised rate of incident HPV16 infections in the subgroup with the lowest vaccine coverage by the corresponding rate in the subgroup with the highest vaccine coverage.
