Notes: Each column and panel presents results from a separate regression. The column title indicates the heterogeneity metric of interest, and the panel title indicates the country sample. The outcome measure is the mental health index. Regression controls include only those necessary to account for the study sampling design (basic controls); more specific information on the control sets can be found in Online Appendix Table 3. Each regression is properly weighted and clustered according to the country’s sample design. Results presented include the coefficient (standard error) on a treatment indicator or the interaction between the heterogeneity metric and a treatment indicator. Significance: *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
↵a For Bangladesh, the educational heterogeneity term is a measure of education aspirations, as school enrollment was a requirement for study eligibility.
↵b For Ethiopia, the depression heterogeneity term is the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) measure, another validated measure of mental health (as the PHQ was not collected at baseline in Ethiopia).
