Note: For model 1a, Wave 1 and Wave 3 change scores will be indicated by Time 1 and Time 2, respectively. For model 1b, Wave 1 to Wave 2 will be indicated by Time 1 and Time 2, respectively, and Wave 2 to Wave 3 will also be indicated by Time 1 and Time 2, respectively.
All models are adjusted for wave 1 measures of women’s age, education, caste, marital duration, number of children, IPV at Time 1, and intervention group.
