Notes: Sample is N = 2,075 unless otherwise indicated. The table reports the estimated ITT effect for each study arm relative to the V-only study arm measured in z-scores in columns 1–3. Column 4 pools all three intervention arms with education into a single treatment indicator. Columns 5–8 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 controls 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). Z-scores are calculated separately for the full and baseline 13–14 year-old samples.
