    * EDRs were Excel templates provided to projects by DoHA. These templates were designed to capture activity level data across a range of individual and community initiatives. EDRs were scheduled for completion on a monthly basis for submission later as part of progress/final reports.
    ** EDRs were not collated and analysis of these did not constitute a significant component of our methods, therefore the number of individual documents received has not been counted.
