Note: Adjusted coefficients are obtained from the regressions of items on the treatment indicator and its interactions with the (demeaned) baseline covariates including baseline PHQ Total, baseline WHODAS Total, baseline PSS Total, mother’s baseline age, weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure, family structure, grandmother being resident, total adults in the household, people per room, number of living children (splitted by gender), whether the index child is the first child, parental education (in years), asset based SES index, life events checklist score, interviewer fixed effect, union council fixed effect and days from baseline. Robust and clustered standard errors at the cluster level are reported in the SE column. Reported p-values and standard errors refer to the adjusted beta coefficient. Anderson indices and factor scores are coded so that higher score always indicates better outcome. Mental Health Index : all PHQ items + all PSS items + all SCID items + all GAD items whenever available. Functioning Index : all WHODAS items. Mother Index : all PHQ items + all PSS items + all SCID items + all GAD items + all WHODAS items whenever available. Remission: Proportion of depressed at baseline having PHQ Total<5 at 3 or 6 months. Recovery: Proportion of depressed at baseline having PHQ Total<5 at 3 and 6 months.
