3.2.1. Incidence of IPV in treatment and comparison
groups
The row labeled (T – C) in Table 2 shows the relative
proportions of respondents reporting IPV before and
after the exposure to the drought in treatment and
comparison groups. The treatment group had a marginally
higher proportion of respondents reporting PV than the
comparison group before the exposure, significantly at the
p = 0.1 level. However, the difference grew considerably
post-exposure and became significant at the p = 0.01 level.
Similar results were observed for SV and EV, indicating that
the treatment and comparison groups diverged further for
