  1. Table 3 shows adjusted logistic regression results estimating the associations between early life treated net use and sociodemographic outcomes in adulthood. Panel A shows results for women, panel B for men and panel C for both women and men. All presented estimates are odds ratios from univariate logistic regression with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. All models include controls for wealth quintile (indicators for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th quintile), caregiver education (some primary, primary completed, secondary of higher) and year of birth (1999, 2000)
