Notes: This table reports the conditional correlations between the continuous empowerment score and the binary variable for empowerment, and continuous and binary variables for both stress and depression, controlling for a range of demographic and economic covariates. Standard errors are clustered at the commune level.
Each cell reports the regression coefficient on top, followed by the standard error in parentheses.
