Multilevel logit regression estimates based on a four level binomial logit model for a null model with no predictor variables in the fixed part and a random variance component for households, communities, and regions (model 1); and for a model with individual and household predictor variables in the fixed part model and a random variance component for households, communities, and regions (model 2)
