Logistic mixed effects models account for survey weighting, country fixed effects, strata and community random effects, adjust for total WEE items, age, age of marriage, parity, wealth, rurality, country GDP, and allow for random slopes for vanguard across communities
⁺Number of items vanguard; vanguard on an item if has the item and lives in a community where the item prevalence is < 35% or lives in a community with prevalence ≥ 35% and ≤ 65% and community’s prevalence less than the regional prevalence
⁺⁺Number of items vanguard; vanguard on an item if has the item and lives in a community where the item prevalence is < 25% or lives in a community with prevalence ≥ 25% and ≤ 75% and community’s prevalence is in the bottom two-thirds of the community-level distribution within the region
