a

Based on a series of logistic regression equations comparing respondents in the Low-poverty and Traditional voucher intervention groups with respondents in the Control group ignoring whether or not intervention families used their vouchers. The equations are based on multiply-imputed data (described in the text) to adjust for the fact that 22.2% of eligible baseline respondents did not participate in the long-term evaluation survey.

b

The P values evaluate the significance of odds-ratios using the Benjamini-Hochberg method33 to adjust for the false discovery rate. These P values are higher than those implied by the 95% CIs, as the latter are based on models for separate outcomes.

c

The n's are the mean number of respondents in the group with the outcome averaged across the 20 multiply imputed pseudo-samples.
