HK: Health knowledge

The table displays health-determining factors that are significantly (p < 0.05) spatially correlated with mental health (WHO-5 scores) of those population groups and slums in which strongest global spatial clustering of WHO-5 scores were found (cf. Table 2). Note that the WHO-5 scores among males in Bishil/Sarag are clustered most strongly, and there is a strong spatial correlation with 'natural environment' and housing quality in this population group.
