Notes: Sample is N = 2,075 unless otherwise indicated. Endline means for the V-only study arm are reported in column 1 and the estimated ITT effect for each study arm relative to V-only in columns 2–4. Column 5 pools all three intervention arms with education into a single treatment indicator. Columns 6–9 report estimated ITT effects with extended controls. Numbers in square brackets indicate 95% confidence intervals. Regressions were estimated with robust standard errors and included controls for age and the outcome measured at baseline. The extended control regressions additionally control for baseline measures of: grade attainment, cognitive score, mother or father completing primary school, coresidence with both parents, household wealth quintile, and whether any missing baseline covariates were imputed using area median. 1 No baseline control for outcome variable available. 2 Among respondents who tested HSV-2 negative in 2017.
