Figure 4.6 c Overall prevalence of active trachoma among children aged 5-9 years in all communities* by region, Western Australia 2007-2016
* Calculated carrying forward most recent data in all communities considered at risk of trachoma at some time since 2007
Figure 4.7 Number of at-risk communities* according to level of trachoma prevalence in children aged 5-9 years by region, Western Australia 2016
* Including at-risk communities that did and did not screen in 2016
Figure 4.8 Number of doses of azithromycin administered for the treatment of trachoma by region, Western Australia 2007-2016
*Treatments administered in the Kimberley in 2007 are likely to have been under-reported, as treatment data were not received from several communities
†In the Kimberley in 2008, 17 communities were reported to have received ‘community-based treatment’, compared with only seven in 2009
