Wild bootstrap p-values are given independently for DD effect and the mediator effect (H0=0). Baseline values for the mediators are included in each regression to control for confounding between the mediator and treatment. Individual controls: age, age squared, male, baseline morbidity past 2 weeks, and baseline orphan status / Household controls (all defined at baseline): household head (female, age, ever attended school, chronic illness, married), log per capita expenditure, household size, total age group categories (0–5, 6–11, 12–17, 65+) and dummies for Traditional Authority residence
