Note: Unit of observation is a child and the dependent variable obtains a value 1 if the child consumed from the food group, and zero otherwise. Asterisks indicate the following:

Superscript a indicates child-level indicators; b= household-level indicators; c= community/ cluster-level indicators; d= national-level indicators. Regressions also control for short birth interval, number of children, teenage motherhood, child gender. These coefficients had small and often insignificant coefficients.
