*Survey-weighted percentages and counts are reported to account for the survey design. A separate logistic regression model was conducted for each outcome. Each model accounted for village as the primary sampling unit and subcentre as the primary stratum within the sampling unit, and with proportional sampling weights at the maternal respondent/household level; each model was also adjusted for maternal age (as a continuous variable) and caste (non-Hindu, Hindu scheduled caste/scheduled tribe (SC/ST), Hindu not SC/ST). P values reflect comparisons of the intervention and control groups from these models.
