Sample sizes, child demographics, and household characteristics, in the pooled intervention vs. control arm. For categorical variables, the number of occurrences and percentages are reported. For continuous variables, the mean and standard deviation (SD) are reported. We report the distribution of these variables in individual, unpooled treatment arms in Supplemental Table S2.
