Notes: Data are for the control group only. The number of illness episodes and clinic visits per year from the pictorial diary are based on data collected over a six month period. To account for seasonality, any illness, clinic visit, or informal care visit in the past month based on the pictorial diary is for the month of November so as to be comparable with the month of recall in the household survey.
