Note: This table reports the correlations between the continuous empowerment score and the binary variable for empowerment, and continuous and binary variables for both stress and depression, in a panel specification controlling for individual fixed effects. Standard errors are clustered at the commune level. Each cell reports the regression coefficient on top, followed by the standard error in parentheses.
