Significant effects are in bold font; ***, **, and * indicate p < 0.01, p < 0.05, and p < 0.1, respectively. Adjusted regression controls for caregiver age (years), caregiver education (years), household size, monthly household per-capita income, and dummy variables for water connection, sewer connection, and bathroom or latrine. To ensure comparison of the same households over time, the sample is restricted to the balanced panel of households with complete practice information
