a The table shows the average partial effect of the voucher schemes on the probability of delivery at each facility, in percentage points, derived from multinomial logit models (using 7180 observations) with the covariates listed in Table 3 plus district fixed effects and birth year effects.
b Women in the poorest 40% of households, as determined using a wealth index, were regarded as poor. Non-poor women were from the other 60% of households.
c Schemes targeted poor women.
Note: Data were obtained from the 2010 Cambodian Demographic and Health Survey.
