aN is the base number of observations (the denominator) for the reported percentages or the sample size used to estimate the reported means. N is the number of households except for the variables measured at the child level (as indicated by b and c) where N is the number of children. N varies across different variables because of measurements in only a subset of the sample by design, non-response/refusal, and the loss due to measurement errors.bFor children less than 60 months of age.cFor children less than 24 months of age.ALRI, acute lower respiratory illness; CFU, colony forming units; Hb, Hemoglobin; HH, household; PCG, primary care giver; VitA, vitamin A; WASH, water, sanitation and hygiene.Baseline characteristics by randomized intervention groups, 2009.
