Note: Parameter estimates with standard errors in parentheses clustered by baseline enumeration area. Observations are person-years. Includes individual and year fixed effects. Temperature and rainfall are z-scores of previous 24-months, and both sample and attrition weights applied. Brackets provide q-values (Anderson, 2008).
