   Figure 2. Differences in outcomes between focus and control countries over time.

   Each data point represents the difference in the percentage change from the previous year to the current. That is, each point represents (X_t − X_t−1/X_t−1)_focus − (X_t − X_t−1/X_t−1)_control for outcome X in year t. Negative numbers mean that the outcome decreased faster (or increased more slowly) in the focus countries. Deflections away from zero suggest that the differences became more pronounced, whereas deflections toward zero mean that the trends were becoming more similar. The dotted lines represent the transition period around 2003, when the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief was being organized.
