  • The bold text highlights results that reached significance at the 5% level for two-sided comparisons.

  • *Effects are estimated for differences at endline 1 controlling for baseline STI and using data from both time points in a repeated measures generalised linear mixed model.

  • ES, economic strengthening; STI, sexually transmitted infection.
