| Adjusted marginal effects | 95% CI | |
|---|---|---|
| Age (year) | 6·3 | 4·0 to 8·6* |
| Female sex | −0·5 | −0·7 to −0·2* |
| Wealth quintile | 1·2 | 0·6 to 1·7* |
| Children with mother's age of more than 30 years | −0·8 | −1·3 to −0·4* |
| Rural residence | 0·6 | −0·2 to 1·5 |
| Mother's education (tertile)† | 3·3 | 2·5 to 4·0* |
| Improved drinking water source | 0·6 | −0·4 to 1·6 |
| Improved sanitation facility or toilet | 1·4 | 0·5 to 2·2* |
| 3rd dose of DTP vaccine | 10·0 | 7·5 to 12·6* |
| Vitamin A | 33·1 | 30·6 to 35·6* |
Marginal effects refer to absolute change in mean deworming coverage associated with one unit change in variable. Robust standard errors clustered by country and survey. DTP=diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis.
*
Indicates a relationship with a p<0·05.
†
Is this the marginal effect obtained by 1 unit change in the mother's education.
