Notes: N = 2023 (unless otherwise indicated) re-interviewed at 2021 follow-up. sd = standard deviation. Asterisks in columns 2–4 indicate statistically different from V-only. P-values in column 5 are from an F test for joint differences across study arms. Column 6 reports the average for VE, VEH and VEHW study arms combined, and asterisks indicate statistically different from V-only. All statistical tests are based on regressions that control for district per the stratified design with robust standard errors calculated accounting for clustering at the village level. Means for 2021 follow-up for the baseline in-school subsample are shown in Appendix B. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, †p < 0.1.
