treatment=1 if the observation is in treatment clusters, =0 otherwise. Dependent variables (listed on the first column) are latent factor scores of maternal mental health, coded in a way that higher score means better outcome and standardized to be mean 0 and SD 1 in the control group. Coefficients are obtained from the regressions of factor scores on the treatment indicator, its interactions with the respective dimension and the 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 (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.
