Treatment and control group means are regression adjusted. Impacts on binary outcomes are estimated using the linear probability model, with standard errors adjusted to account for heteroskedasticity. Regressions control only for treatment status and randomization stratum. All p-values are based on a two-sided test, and adjusted p-values control for the familywise error rate using the method in Hothorn et al. (2008). Sample sizes differ across outcomes due to missing outcome data. Source: Baseline survey and 12 month follow-up survey
*Significantly different from zero at the .10 level after adjusting for multiple comparisons, two-tailed test

aIn this table, p-values are adjusted for multiple comparisons within outcome domains. Birth spacing intention is the only outcome in its domain, so the adjusted p-value is excluded here
