Panel A–C report treatment effects on outcomes of COVID-19 practices, Food Security and Psychological Well-being, respectively, whose summary indexes are shown in table 2. Panel D reports treatment effects on outcomes of Health Services. The treatment effects are calculated using OLS regression. All regressions control household characteristics including the gender of household head, household size, time in settlement and different ethnicities. Column (1) shows the means of the control group. Columns (2) and (4) show the unweighted treatment effect estimates and 95% CI, respectively. Columns (3), (5) are weighted by inverse probability weights. Columns (6) shows the p values (weighted). Columns (7) shows the number of observations and (8) shows the round in which the data are collected. Significance levels correspond with *** p<0.01 for 1%, ** p<0.05 or 5% and * p<0.1 for 10% respectively

OLS, ordinary least squares.
