| Outcome variable | Total effect estimate (CI) | Total effect standardized coefficient | Indirect effect estimate (CI) | Indirect effect standardized coefficient | Direct effect estimate (CI) | Direct effect standardized coefficient (averaged) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Notes: Results are for genders combined. Models included control variables of region, religiosity, religious affiliation, in school/completed schooling, orphan status, ever pregnant (partner or self), and ever married. CI = confidence interval.

CI are the 95% intervals using the adjusted bootstrap percentile (BCa) method but with no correction for acceleration (only for bias).
