Note N = 593. B = unstandardized regression coefficients from linear regressions (CLTS) and logistic regression (latrine ownership); SE = standard error; CI = confidence interval for specific indirect effects; LL = lower limit; UL = upper limit; OR = odds ratio for specific indirect effects
CLTS received was coded ‘1’, and CLTS not received was coded ‘0’. Latrine ownership was coded ‘1’, and no latrine ownership was coded ‘0’. Bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals for the specific indirect effects were computed based on 10,000 bootstrap samples (bold: Significant effects)
