Notes: 1) Pub-C refers to a catchment area served by a public (government-owned) CHS; Pri-C refers to a catchment area served by a private CHS; 2) * New Cooperative Medical System; 3) ***, **, * refer to 1%, 5% and 10% statistical significance level, respectively; here we report proportion test (‘prtest’ in Stata) results (P-values) for public-private differences, rather than mean (‘ttest’ in Stata) because the ttest command relies on some distributional assumptions that may not be true for each component; 4) the summation for each category may not equal 100% because of missing values.
