  1. aaOR obtained from random intercept logistic regression taking clustering at the block and GP levels
  2. bMarginalization defined as a composite of caste (SC/ST = 1, others = 0), literacy (cannot read and write = 1, only read/both = 0), socio-economic status 5 (0/2 = 0, 3/4 = 1). Total score ranges from 0 to 3. 3 = most marginalized, 2 = some marginalization, 1 and 0 least marginalized. (SES score computed using PCA from household facilities and certain assets)
