Notes: Panel A uses all individuals in the analysis sample who were listed as living in the same household or the same compound as the primary respondent. Panel B expands the analysis sample to all individuals listed on household rosters, including duplicate reports on the same household by spouses. Panel C uses only those individuals in the analysis sample who were matched in the first pass of the matching algorithm. Panel D limits the analysis sample to respondents and their and spouses, children, and parents.
