  1. Note: ***p < 0.01, **p < .05, *p < 0.10. Estimates are based on a linear probability model, but robust to maximum likelihood estimation. Standard errors in parentheses are robust and clustered at the community level (46). The omission of the main effect ‘Camp proximity (< 10 km)’ in models (3) and (6) represent a reparameterization of a full model, in order to provide the estimates for the comparisons of interest (e.g. female-headed < 10 km vs. female-headed > 20 km). Other covariates controlled for include female head, age of head, married head, education head at lower secondary level, size of household, share of children (per adult), market distance, city distance, community population and nearest refugee camp
