Note: The baseline period is t1 (one month prior to the event of interest). The dependent variable is the number of helpline calls (total or from victims only) per 100,000 population and the number of police reports for domestic abuse and maltreatments per 100,000 population. Population-weighted estimates include province and month-year fixed effects. Standard errors are clustered at province level. *** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1.
