Notes: The table reports OLS coefficients with SEs in parentheses, clustered at the facility level. In panel A, the management score from the facility survey is the unweighted average of the score on each of the 13 management questions. In panel B, the management score from the SafeCare assessment is the unweighted average of the score on each of the 55 management-related items that were pre-specified prior to data collection. Observations are at the SP visit level. The full sample is used in all regressions, with the exception of column (4) in which the sample is limited to facilities assigned to the control arm of the SafeCare field experiment. General controls capture characteristics: facility type, region, profit status, urban location and SafeCare trial arm. SP fixed effects are a dummy variable for each of the SP fieldworkers. Case fixed effects are a dummy for each of the SP case presentations. The bias-adjusted coefficient is the value of β produced when 
and 
. *** significant at 1%, ** at 5%, * at 10%.
