Selected districts with positive and significant relationships with the dependent variables. Districts grouped in “other” were all those whose value deviated from the weighted average of the outcome indicators by no more than one point in either direction. Multiple comparison test applying Sidak correction. Comparison of means of specific district vs. category “all other districts”. Significance levels: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
