  • χ2 Tests are presented for differences in distributions related to each of the variables age, residence, education, religion, household head and wealth index.

  • Significant χ2 tests (p<0.05, Bonferroni corrected for 6 tests per column yielding p<0.0083) including at least one standardised residual >2 (indicated by +) or <−2 (indicated by −) are reported by p values and effect size V (Cramer's V).
