The table reports two-year follow-up means for V-only in column 1, the OLS estimated ITT effect for each study arm relative to V-only in columns 2–4 and differences in the estimated ITT effects across study arms in columns 5–7. For binary outcomes (=1) these are linear probability models. Column 5 compares the estimates for VEH to VE, column 6 compares VEHW to VE, and column 7 compares VEHW to VEH. For example, the estimate in column 7 for ‘Experienced violence by a male in the past year’ (0.018) is the difference between the estimate for VEHW (− 0.042) in column 4 and the estimate for VEH (− 0.059) in column 3. Minor differences in the reported differentials compared to the estimates presented in columns 2–4 are due to rounding. Numbers in square brackets indicate 95% confidence intervals. Regressions were estimated with robust standard errors and included controls for age and the outcome measured at baseline unless otherwise noted. N = 2190; sample is smaller for some individual outcomes due to missing data as indicated
