Do precipitation anomalies influence short-term mobility in sub-saharan Africa? An observational study from 23 countries

Abstract Background Precipitation anomalies are associated with a number of poor health outcomes. One potential consequence of precipitation extremes is human geographic mobility. We evaluated the associations between precipitation anomalies (droughts and heavy rains) and short-term mobility in 23 s...
