a

For continuous variables P-Value refers to results from a linear model ANOVA and for categorical variables results from a Pearson's Chi-squared test.

b

Percent here, and for all below, refers to the fraction of induction-owners reporting each aspect of their induction use context.

c

NA: These questions were implemented in only Coastal households in response to themes that emerged from surveys in Andean households. As a result of the change, no P-Value is reported for this question.
