NOTES: This table presents bivariate results. Means are weighted for varying treatment random assignment ratios across time, and for attrition. Variables marked by a † are binary, so means represent proportions. Nondrinkers assigned to zero. Combined voucher treatment indicates that the low-poverty and section 8 voucher groups were combined into one group. There are no statistically-significant differences between voucher and control groups overall (when collapsed on gender).
