The settings of the outbreaks were recorded in ProvLab database and could be classified as one of the followings: group residence, senior residence, long term care, hospital long term care, hospital acute care, daycare, school, community gathering, conference, food establishment, cruise/hotel, private households, community shelter/service, region-based community and others.
Adjustment for rural vs urban residence, long-term illness, area deprivation and education, associated with risk of non-attendance, increased the RR for non-attendance except for Pakistani women where it was modestly attenuated (RR=164.9, 149.4 182.1).
For the analysis of the outbreak settings, outbreaks in group residence, senior residence and long term care were grouped together as community-based group residence.
Exclusion criteria were terminal illness, residence in long term care, severe hearing loss, planned bariatric surgery, pregnant or nursing, ongoing psychiatric care, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, use of antipsychotic drugs or mood stabilisers, and mental confusion suggesting dementia.
