Beliefs are those of the household head if the individual was under the age of 18. Results are from logistic regression models and coefficients are expressed in terms of odds ratios. Columns1,3,5 are regressions that control only for beliefs before the illness while columns 2, 4, and 6 include the following controls: age and gender of the individual, education level (of the respondent if the individual was under 18), whether the individual slept under a net the previous night, the main source of household drinking water, whether the household owns more than one acre of land and village fixed effects. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
