Notes: Child outcomes indicate the mortality rates in our sample overall and among those exposed to conflicts of different intensity. The mortality rate is based on a cross-section over the entire study period. Of note, the lower rate in cluster areas with 1-4 conflict-related deaths relative to areas without any conflict is a cross-section difference that fails to capture the within-cluster effects that measure mortality rate in times of conflict relative to times of no-conflict, as reflected in our main analyses.
