  1. Coefficients are presented as marginal risk ratios resulting from logistic regression models with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Drought compares the 15th percentile rainfall deviation to the 50th percentile rainfall deviation; heavy rainfall compares the 85th percentile rainfall deviation to the 50th percentile rainfall deviation. All models control for age, wealth quintile, household size, education level, urban (versus rural), and literacy.
  2. Asterisks denote level of significance ***p < 0.001 **p < 0.01 *p < 0.05
