Note. Nutrition knowledge index defined as per cent answered correctly (out of all questions, behaviours and mechanisms combined) of the questions that were answered correctly by 10–90% of respondents, normalized to the 95th percentile. Wealth is quintiles of an asset‐based index. Livestock measured in TLUs. Education is years of schooling. Age measured in years. Constant terms not shown. Heteroskedasticity robust standard errors clustered at the care group level shown in parentheses, with significance levels denoted. ASFs: animal‐source foods; MnD‐FFVs: micronutrient‐dense fruits and vegetables; TLUs: tropical livestock units.
