Estimates from Multilevel Linear Model with random intercepts stratified by restriction tier. ICC = Intraclass Correlation Coefficient; Est. = Estimate; SE = Standard Error; PED = Province’s Economic Disadvantage. *Models were adjusted for population density, share of people aged 0–5, and geographical repartition
