a

Model selection based on adjusted Wald test results, which indicated that covariates with nonsignificant univariate associations do not significantly improve the model fit (P = .183).

b

Conflict-affected include nondisplaced households within Syria that have been, directly or indirectly, affected by the conflict.

c

Returnees include those previously displaced for a time that have since returned to their original home.
