  1. Notes: Effect estimates obtained using generalised linear mixed models, adjusted for age group and sex (fixed effects) and clustering at the community and household levels (random effects). The model included 1464 individuals in 438 households in 23 communities. Results in bold text are those significant at P < 0.05
