Note: p values are from tests of the null hypothesis that the population mean difference between healthy and sick boys is zero. For dichotomous outcomes (literacy, labor force participation, whether the man is a farmer, and marital status), these tests were performed using family fixed effects logit models. For continuous outcomes (occupational standing), these tests were performed using paired t-tests. Bolded values indicate that the null hypothesis is rejected at the 0.05 level.
