Note: Means, standard deviations (in brackets) and sample sizes are reported above for each survey. The indicator of "use of information" is measured at the facility-level. All other indicators are measured at the health worker-level. The standardized difference between the groups is defined as the difference in the means between the two surveys and scaled by the overall standard deviation.
