Note: Unit of observation is a child and the dependent variable obtains a value 1 if the child is stunted, and zero otherwise. Standard errors clustered at the DHS cluster level. Child and household level controls include: Child had a diarrhea (0/1), Medical facilitybirth (0/1), Improved latrine (0/1), Unimproved toilet (0/1), Improved water (0/1), Teenage mother (0/1), Mother’s height (cm), Woman 9+ yrs education (0/1), Partner 9+ yrs education (0/1), Partner absent (0/1), child is boy (0/1), and child’s age (age-in-months dummies). Also included are survey dummies, subnational fixed effects (states, provinces, et cetera) and whether the child resides in a rural area. Statistical significance denoted as

^*= p < 0.1.

^**= p < 0.05

^***= p < 0.01,
