Variables considered in the initial model: Child variables: FIT programme, age at follow-up, gender, number of siblings, thin at baseline, stunted at baseline, DMFT at follow-up, School variables: geographical location, number of enrolees at follow-up, number of water slots with water and soap, student to water slot ratio, percentage of clean and functional toilets
