HDDS, household dietary diversity score; WDDS, women dietary diversity score; CDDS, child dietary diversity score; IRR, incidence rate ratios; CI, confidence interval.

The dependent variables are household, women, and CDDS. Models were estimated with negative binomial estimator. IRRs are shown with 95% CI in parentheses.

*, **, and ***

Statistically significant at the 10, 5, and 1% level, respectively. Model estimated with same covariates as in Table 6.
