95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI) were calculated based on Taylor-linearized standard errors accounting for clustering at the community level.

a

All models for baseline and follow-up year 2 comparison were adjusted a priori for education. Additional covariates included based on ≥10% change-in-estimate criterium were ethnicity for of delayed bathing and cord cutting; and ethnicity + religion for of exclusive breastfeeding first 3 days.

b

All models for follow-up year 2 and year 3 comparison were adjusted a priori for education. Additional covariates included based on ≥10% change-in-estimate criterium were ethnicity for delayed bathing; ethnicity + religion for cord cutting; and religion for exclusive breastfeeding first 3 days.
