Notes: This table shows the means for each of the variables which are used to generate the village social capital index, for all households as well as for the sub-sample of households that did not have private sanitation facilities at baseline. It also presents the means of the index. The p-values in columns 3 and 6 are generated from tests of statistical difference between treatment and control communities. ∗∗∗indicates difference is significant at 1% level, ∗∗ at 5% level, ∗ at 10% level.
