Estimates of population means with their standard errors (in parenthesis), based on the method of moments, are reported. The second and third blocks of rows concern the intermediate variable and the outcome. Due to their bernoulli and binomial distributions, estimated means are also estimates of the probability of buying new bed nets and the probability of infection, respectively.
