Estimated ordinary least squares (OLS) coefficients on intervention status with 95% CIs computed with SEs adjusted for clustering at the village level are shown. Interventions in the Kakamega columns were a combination of WASH hardware. Interventions in the Bungoma columns are the relevant treatments (W, S, or H separately) compared with the control group. HW = handwashing.
