  2. aLASSO Regression Model: in terms of specific model group, some of the optimal future campaign strategies among a lot of CCKs about HIV/AIDS were predicted by LASSO regression model. This table represents the combinations of predicted CCKs about HIV/AIDS for adults aged 15–49 years with sex specific needs in MRU countries
