  1. Abbreviations: DAH Development Assistance for Health; cOR = crude odds ratio; aOR = adjusted odds ratio; ACT: Artemisinin-based combination therapy. Conditional logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratio for each outcome (allocation of the China medical teams, hospitals or anti-malaria centers). Univariate model only included one potential factor and multivariate model was additional adjusted for Leaders’ birth place, national capital city, total population number, population density and nighttime light. P values were reported for both models. Missingness on individual variables < 10%, except for ACT used in treatment (23%, n = 49 principle subdivisions) and access to an insecticide-treated mosquito net (19%, n = 41 principle subdivisions)
