  1. Notes: aEstimates are odds ratios, from weighted logistic regression models, with 95% Confidence Intervals in e-form in parentheses; ** P < 0.01, * P < 0.05
  2. bData comes from a nationally representative sample of children aged 13–17 years from Violence Against Children Surveys
  3. cSample only includes observations with no missing values for all outcomes
  4. dThe number of adults and children in household refer to the number of adults and children in the same sleeping areas as the respondent
  5. eWealth quintiles are from indices created through factor analysis of household assets and dwelling characteristics, similar to standard methodology from the Demographic and Health Surveys and are age-group specific
  6. fIn Haiti, informal disclosure was asked for experience of sexual violence only. Due to the wording of questions, we were unable to parse out formal disclosure from receiving help for experience of physical violence
  7. gCamp variable refers to internally displaced persons living in camps/tent settlements resulting from the 2010 earthquake. This variable is included only in the Haiti analysis
  8. †Included as number of male adults and number of female adults for Cambodia and Haiti
  9. ‡The sex disaggregated number of adults is not available in Kenya
  10. §Camp variable is relevant only for Haiti
