Associations of decisions made on credit use and total food crop diversity. Decisions on credit were defined as the number of sources of credit that the woman solely made the decision to either borrow from or how to use the credit in the past 12 months considering that their household has access to such sources of credit. Country-specific adjusted estimates were pooled using an RE model using the DerSimonian and Laird method. The adjusted model for Burkina Faso controlled for intervention assignment, age, educational attainment, asset score, household size, polygyny, and active membership of a credit or microfinance lending group. The model for India controlled for intervention assignment, age, educational attainment, asset score, household size, land size, and active membership of a credit or microfinance lending group. The model for Malawi controlled for intervention assignment, age, educational attainment, asset score, household size, and active membership of a credit or microfinance lending group. The model for Tanzania controlled for intervention assignment, age, educational attainment, asset score, household size, land size, and active membership of a credit or microfinance lending group.
