a

p-value for X2 test for homogeneity of proportions by the specific sub-categories of each characteristic. If p<0.05, the characteristic proportion distribution (e.g. sex) is different between household members and enrolled participants.

b

X2 test not performed for age since participants were selected based on their age so the distribution is not expected to be similar to that of all household members.

c

Age was missing for two household members.

d

Education level and literacy was obtained for individuals aged ≥5 years only.

e

Employment status was obtained for individuals of employable age (≥10 years) only.
