1 Number of children that provided at least one follow-up measurement.

2 Estimates from a mixed-effects linear regression model with cluster pair as the random effect and intervention nested as a random slope, adjusted for women’s age, parity, education level, and household socioeconomic score

3 Estimates from a mixed-effects logistic regression model with cluster pair as the random effect and intervention nested as a random slope, adjusted for women’s age, parity, education level, and household socioeconomic score.

4 CI estimated from a Poisson regression model adjusted for clustering by health center catchment.

5 Computed using a generalized linear latent and mixed model, with cluster pair and child as random effects, adjusted for child’s age and sex, women’s age, parity, education level, and household socioeconomic score.

6 Computed using a mixed logistic model with cluster pair and child as random effects, adjusted for child’s age and sex, women’s age, parity, education level and household socioeconomic score.
