Notes: P-values in column 5 are from an F-test for joint differences across study arms for sample of nonattritors at endline. N = 2,075 unless otherwise noted. Sample sizes are larger for household-level variables because for some observations the household but not the individual survey was completed. All statistical tests were carried out using robust standard errors.
