All statistical models adjust for parental education score, maternal age, birth order of child, child sex and wealth quintile. Fixed effects models U3 and R3FE use fixed effects to adjust for village or slum cluster. Random effects models U3RE and R4 use a random effect to adjust for village or slum cluster. The rural random effects model R4 also adjusts explicitly for village-level service delivery (access, quality, receipt of reminders) characteristics.
