Notes : 2SLS estimates of the effect of being currently enrolled on school on virginity using distance to secondary school in kilometers from the DHS Service Provider survey as an instrument. Full sample includes all those females between the ages of 15–24 in the Uganda 1995 DHS. Restricted sample includes only those females who have not recently moved (in the past year) to their current residence and are not self-identified as visitors. DHS 1995 does not contain district or place of birth of the respondent. Restricted also excludes girls who stated they dropped out of school due to pregnancy. Distance to urban center is also in kilometers. Standard errors are clustered by survey cluster unit (group of villages).
