Age is self-reported, in years. Number of participants in focus group, household size, number of household members under the age of 5 years, and number of pregnant members of household are shown. Education levels are shown as “standard”, which is equivalent to a primary or secondary school “grade” in the United States. The number of FGD participants reporting that highest level of education is shown in parenthesis. Number of households who report having electricity or owning a scooter is shown as fraction of total FGD participants from that village. Annual income is self-reported and often respondents were unsure of this figure (where ‘?’ is indicated).
