Table 4 Regression results for targeting of CCT programs among women and children in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. SES rank represents each subregion’s relative rank from richest to poorest in the country, prevalence is specific to each health outcome (underweight, stunting, DPT vaccine coverage, and child deaths), and inequality is measured by the concentration index for each health outcome
