Adjusted in linear regression model for sex, WAMI Index (water/sanitation, assets, maternal education, and income); enrollment length-for-age z score; maternal height; poultry/cattle in house, mother has less than 3 living children and site for overall estimate; Dependent variable: length-for-age z score at 24 m; Independent variables: Campylobacter burden.
