_Source:_ Authors estimate _Notes:_ These are based on the analysis sample of 2,482 women. 268 observations with missing covariates are dropped in Panel B. Missing obeservations in each column is due to missing values and invalid numbers in the dependent variable. Robust standard errors clustered by villages (80 villages) are in parentheses. All the dependent variables indicate the measurement after the flipcharts intervention. "Likely to get tetanus" is a binary variable which takes 1 if a respondent answers " high likelihood" to the question "what is the likelihood that you get tetanus?". "Number of people who die of tetanus" is the number of people out of 100 a respondent provides to a question "Once they have tetanus, how many people do you think would die because of tetanus?". "Very worried about tetanus" is a binary variable which takes 1 if a respondent answers "very worried" to the question "How worried are you that you might get tetanus? Very worried, worried, not too worried, not worried at all?". "Tetanus is very bad" is a binary variable which takes 1 if a respondent answers "very bad" to the question "How bad would it be if you get tetanus? Very bad, bad, not too bad, not bad at all?". "Very important to be protected from tetanus" is a binary variable which takes 1 if a respondent answers "very important" to the question "How important is it for you to make sure that you are protected from tetanus? Very important, important, not too important, not important at all?". "Vaccine Efficacy" is the difference between the hypothetical number of unvaccinated people whom the respondent thinks get tetanus and the number of vaccinated people who get tetanus. "Heart rate" indicates the heart rate of a respondent measured. Covariates are Clinic condition, Woman's age, Age squared, Muslim, Any education, Marital status = Single, Currently pregnant, Have children, Has paid work, Monthly HH earning per capita (naira), Distance to clinic (km), Transport to clinic (naira), Opportunity costs to clinic (naira), Ever used clinic, Received tetanus vaccine before, Likely to contract tetanus, Number of people who die of tetanus, Very worried about Tetanus, Tetanus is very bad, Very important to be protected from tetanus, Vaccine efficacy, Vaccines protect from disease, Needles are scary, Vaccines have side effects, Vaccines give diseases, Vaccines give HIV, Heart rate (beat/min). Control mean of dependent variable is the mean under Vaccine condition. * significant at 10%; ** significant at 5%; *** significant at 1% 36
