Note: SE=socioemotional skills. Table shows treatment effects on the reported items and Anderson indices for the subset of mothers who were present at all four waves (N=771). Adjusted coefficients are obtained from the regressions of items on the treatment indicator and its interactions with (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 (split by gender), whether the index child is the first child, parental education levels, asset based SES index, life events checklist score, interviewer fixed effect, union council fixed effect and days from baseline. All estimations control for child gender and age (in days). 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. Physical Health Index : all WHODAS items. Mother Index : all PHQ items + all PSS items + all SCID items + all GAD items + all WHODAS items whenever available.
