Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:As in most global-scale analyses, these estimates include several limitations. Most importantly, while we developed comprehensive global estimates, a number of potential sources from 2000 to 2005 reported a soap indicator which included “other handwashing agents” such as ash, sand, or soil and therefore did not meet JMP’s definition for basic hygiene (The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP)). This considerable limitation is reflected in the uncertainty in national-level estimates. These national level estimates are based on recently available survey data; however, the year of the most recent survey varies by location, also contributing to uncertainty. While our spatiotemporal model estimates incorporate trends to estimate access in 2019, the most recent source input data may have been from earlier years (Excel File S1, Excel File S2). Similarly, estimates for years prior to 2008 were derived from the ST-GPR model and not from survey inputs. This is reflected in uncertainty intervals (Figures S22-S29). Further, our estimates likely do not reflect recent disruptive events such as conflict, large-scale migration, or natural disasters. These events are likely to increase the number of people living without access to handwashing and also to increase the number of people living in densely populated settings where social distancing is also challenged. As the input data sources are based on snapshot observations, they also do not refle...
