Note: The table shows the balance across stigma and knowledge-related variables including whether the respondent (1) was kept in a shed during menstruation, (2) was not allowed in the kitchen, (3) was regarded as untouchable, (4) reported menstruation source is the uterus, (5) used sanitary pads during the last menstrual cycle, and (6) uses sanitary pad frequently. The F-statistics are from the joint hypothesis testing under the null that the coefficients on the subsidy-plus-discussion group are jointly equal to zero with the corresponding p-values. Standard errors are presented in parentheses. All regressions account for the stratification variable. Table S3.3 in the supplementary online appendix replicates a similar balance exercise to the table above, but excludes non-compliers in the subsidy-plus-discussion group. *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
