Note: All estimations are adjusted by sampling weights for accounting non-response in the phone survey. The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is transformed using inverse hyperbolic sine transformation to keep zero cases for few states. Standard errors, clustered at EA level, are given in parentheses. * p < 0.10, ^**p < 0.05, ^***p < 0.01.
