Controls include youth age and gender, and baseline values of the following household characteristics - log household size, main respondent age, gender, education and marital status, household demographic composition and indicators for the province of residence. Weights are applied to approximate effects for all eligible youth in the study regions. All physical violence measures capture abuse in the previous 12 months.
