Notes: We report results from OLS regressions (equations (1), (2))). The dependent variables are: Toilet Construction which equals 1 if the household built a toilet since baseline and 0 otherwise; Intolerance of Open Defecation which is the sum of responses to 9 questions about attitudes toward open defecation (45 is the maximum score possible and is the highest level of intolerance while 9 is the minimum score possible and reflects total acceptance of open defecation); Knowledge of Causes of Diarrhea which is a score out of 6 based on six questions about possible causes of diarrhea (a score of 6 indicates that the respondent got all of the questions correct); roundworm prevalence (eggs/g); hemoglobin (g/l); weight and height z-scores of children 0–5; and an index of the roundworm, hemoglobin, weight and height z-scores. RA (LG) treatment indicates villages are assigned to implementation by a resource agency (local government). Standard errors are clustered at the village level and are reported in parentheses. ∗∗∗indicates significance at 1% level, ∗∗ at 5% level, ∗ at 10% level.
