Legend: ‘=’ implies that coefficients are equal to the ones estimated for the malaria model (model 1);
**significant at 5% significance level;
*** significant at 1% significance level; St. Coeff = standardized coefficient; Std. Error = Standard error; N = sample size; df = degrees of freedom; RMSEA = Root Mean Square Error of Approximation. Region is a dummy variable equal to 1 if the respondent lives in the hinterland and 0 otherwise.
