Important information:
Please note that there may be some inconsistencies between the indicators and methods reported in the analysis publication, and the generic methods outlined in the SOSCHI framework topic documents.
There are two main reasons for this:
- The generalisable SOSCHI framework methods have been adapted to ensure relevance and application in the specific context described.
- There have been ongoing developments to the proposed methods, which are currently not reflected in the scope of the SOSCHI framework.
