  1. Notes: In all regressions, we controlled for baseline parental knowledge, attitude and practices, child characteristics, and family characteristics. The scores for parental knowledge and attitudes were internally standardized. All standard errors were clustered at the village level. We also adjusted the multiple hypotheses testing problem using the step-down procedure of Romano and Wolf (2005) to control for the family wise error rate (FWER). The significance levels are as follows: *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, and ***p < 0.01
