Data are mean (SD) or% (SE).

1

Follow-up values are averaged over all of the follow-up rounds.

2

P-value comparing intervention arm to control arm, accounting for baseline values, the stratified randomization, and the clustering in the study design.

3

Denominator is “% of pupils that used a latrine,” as shown above.
