  • Notes: Omitted base is t = -1. Sample is restricted to individuals with only one victimization event within the two year window in order to eliminate confounding impacts on mental health in t ≥ 1. Controls include age, age squared, sex, education, number of children, number of rainy days, the unemployment rate, log of average total income, binary indicators for month of interview, year and LGA. Standard errors clustered by LGA.
