  1. Notes:
  2. Linear and logistic regression are used to analyze CCT’s impact on uptake of health services, mother’s knowledge, and child health outcomes. Covariates include child’s age, gender, low birth weight, premature birth, birth order, mother’s ethnicity, education, occupation, number of children, whether the family received social security support, distance from household to township heath center, travel time from household to township health center, and household fixed assets. Standard errors are clustered at the town level
  3. Appendix Table A4 [see Additional file 1] shows details on regression specification. FE fully eligible for the CCT program; PE partially eligible; IE ineligible
  4. a: Compliance rates of physical examinations and child vaccinations are calculated by the requirements of the national standards of basic public health services by child age
  5. b: Stunted growth: length-for-age Z-scores are less than − 2 standard deviations
  6. c: Wasting: weight-for-height Z-scores are less than − 2 standard deviations. *p < 0.05
