DPT=diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis; HFA=height for age; WFH=weight for height.

*Using adjusted logistic regression models with delta method for non-linear combinations (to obtain risk ratio) adjusted for cluster design and potential confounders (toilet inside house, illiterate mother, schedule caste or tribe, possession of mobile phone, family with below poverty line card, distance from primary health centre to nearest point on highway, percentage of home births in cluster).
