Assumes that respondents who have completed primary education in Ghana have spent at least five years in education. All analysis accounts for unequal selection probabilities, non-response rates, and village-clustering. All Ethiopia values are from the baseline survey. All Ghana values are taken from the midline survey, and describe the two treatment groups at that time, except for latrine ownership private latrine ownership, which is based on recall of how old their latrines were.
