Notes- Measure of access to health care is conditional on reporting a need to access health care; Reporting odds ratios and bolded values are statistically significant at *** p<0.01, ** p<0.05, * p<0.1; robust standard errors clustered at EA level and reported in brackets; regressions for Burkina Faso and Kenya include regional fixed effects; control variables measured at baseline (approximately 6 months prior to COVID survey); all regressions use inverse probability survey weights to account for attrition between rounds and phone ownership.
