December 7, 2013, and January 12, 2014 (Winter 2013-2014).

design or population coverage. Omitted trends often reflect less representative samples than more recent surveys in the same countries. Trends that are omitted include:

‐ Vietnam prior to 2014

‐ India prior to Winter 2013-2014

‐ Senegal prior to 2013
