Notes: 0.01 - ***; 0.05 - **; 0.1 - *; OLS regressions at the individual level at the 24-month follow-up with standard errors (SEs) in parentheses clustered at the village level. All regressions include stratum fixed effects. All indices have been constructed such that higher values imply better outcomes. Please refer to the pre-analysis plan in the appendix for index creation and the construction of index sub-components. 40 individuals from baseline were lost to the 24-month follow-up, leaving 1,176 individuals who were interviewed at endline. The sample is limited to only those observations with no item non-response for any of the index components or sub-components. Robustness of impact findings to how item non-response was handled is presented in Appendix A. Missing baseline covariates were replaced with the sample mean. If more than 10% of a baseline covariate was missing, an indicator variable for missing baseline covariate was also included in the regression and reported in the table.The Rosenberg Scale is composed of 10 questions each of which is scored on a Likert scale of 0–3 points, for a total score between 0 and 30 where the higher the score the better self esteem. The SMFQ (Short Mood of Feelings Questionnaire) is composed of 12 questions each of which is scored on a Likert scale of 0–2 points, for a total score between 0 and 24 where higher values imply lower depression. CRIES8 (Children's Revised Impact of Events) scale is composed of 8 questions scored on an inverted Likert scale of 0–5 points, for a total score between 0 and 40, so that higher scores indicate lower levels of trauma. The scale was administered to respondents who experienced sexual or physical violence during the 24-month period between baseline and endline data collection (95.3%). Those that did not experience any violence were assigned the maximum score of 40. Respondents with a score below 23 on our inverted scale (equivalent to above 17 in the orifinal scale), which was used as a referral value for IRC, are considered as suffering from PTSD.
