  1. 1 The sample size for Tables 2 and 3 differs from the sample size for Tables 4 and 5 because some of the explanatory variables had missing values leading to additional reductions in sample size for the regressions.
  2. 2* Indicates statistical significance at the 0.05 significance level or better.
  3. 3 The estimation of standard errors was adjusted for clustering on households to account for possible non-independence of observations within households. It is expected that children in the same household are similar to each other on account of shared genetics and/or home environment.
