“Active” is defined as those who attended more than one ANC facility. Study took place in Nairobi, Kenya in 2015.

p-Values are from ordinary least squares regressions with the dependent variable indicated in Column 1 regressed on a constant term and a binary variable for “Active” and test whether the coefficient on “Active” is significantly different from zero, separately for each visit number.

Robust standard errors are adjusted for clustering at the neighborhood level.

Missing values across all 3 visits include: blood pressure (1); fundal height (6); baby heart rate (4); urine (2); iron (1).
