**_Notes_** :

- The table shows the regression results on pre-specified COVID-19-related outcomes using the phone survey midline data. Each row is its own dependent variable.

- The independent variable of interest is the TOT treatment indicator, which is the predicted value from a first-stage regression of treatment implementation on treatment assignment.

- The outcomes that require definitions are: The COVID symptoms index is a mean effect index of an indicator for any household member testing positive for COVID and the summation of total symptoms experienced by the respondent. The COVID Riskiness index is a mean effect index of indicators that increase the likelihood of COVID contraction by the respondent including leaving the house, attending social gatherings, not keeping distance from others, going to mosque or other religious institutions, going to grocery store or market, and leaving village/neighborhood. The change in consumption is obtained from asking “Please tick below the changes in your family’s consumption in the past 30 days compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak began: Increase, No change, Decrease.” Then, increase is coded as +1, no change as 0, and decrease as -1. Learning activities are done in the last 24 hours and include homework, e-learning, educational programs and videos, and reading. Child alertness is the respondent’s answer to “On a scale of 1-7, with 1 being tired and 7 being alert, how does (child name) feel right now? ” and is normalized by deducting the control group’s mean and then dividing the result by the standard deviation of the control group.

- The regressions also have assessment month-by-year fixed effects, enumerator fixed effects, community-level controls (Irbid/Mafraq governorate and population quartile), and household-level controls (vulnerability-assessment quartile, shelter program, baseline number of children, baseline number of children plus adults, respondent gender, and respondent age).

- In the parentheses are robust standard errors clustered at the locality level. Regressions are weighted by the number of people interviewed in each household. Statistical significance represented by * (10%), ** (5%), and *** (1%). Q-values are calculated per Anderson (2008) and correspond to Family 14 in the pre-analysis plan.
