  1. †=Birr; US$1 = Birr 20.69 (2015); P < 0.001***.; WHODAS (World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale); Reference group (Comparison household without depression, male household head, primary or above in education, urban residence)
  2. “Unadjusted model” is a simple linear regression(between an independent and dependent variable) whereas “adjusted model” is a multiple regression that examined the effect of intervention on income and consumption, adjusting for other variables
