^a“NL” = natural leader. Each treatment group included 29 villages. Natural leaders were present in all villages, but were only trained in the CLTS + NL training group.

^bFollow-up visits includes visits by Plan, local NGOs, and government.

^cTriggering occurred between December 2012 - March 2013, before natural leader training. Villages were randomly assigned to treatment groups after triggering, so any difference in community hours in triggering is due to chance. Hours in triggering were measured using checklists to record attendance and duration of each triggering.

^dNatural leader training occurred in March 2013, after triggering was complete in all villages.
