*Safe child feces disposal, as defined by JMP, includes both latrine use by the child and safe disposal of child feces into a latrine by the caregiver. +Children were < 5 years old at the start of intervention delivery (December 2021) but by the time of endline data collection, approximately four to six months later, some children reached 5 years old. †Models were log-binomial and used generalized estimating equations (GEE) with robust standard errors to account for clustering. However, all of the fully adjusted models for JMP-defined safe disposal and caregiver safe disposal, as well as the fully adjusted per-protocol model for child latrine use, did not converge. In this case, a Poisson model was used rather than log-binomial. §Fully adjusted models were adjusted for two village-level variables: geo-demo group (the variable used for stratified randomization) and baseline prevalence of the outcome
