Under development — library extension. This report is part of the expanded-library work, not the original collection. Source preparation, methods and results are subject to revision.

Provisional eligibility assessment — under development. The full contraceptive-subsidy arm is randomly assigned by clinic catchment. Treatment effects are experimental arm comparisons, not observational adoption. This working assessment is not fully vetted and may change.

Under development — community extension. This is a provisional source-design assessment, not a new successful replication or a final eligibility ruling.

Source design and template applicability

The full contraceptive-subsidy arm is randomly assigned by clinic catchment. Treatment effects are experimental arm comparisons, not observational adoption.

No DiD estimates, uncertainty intervals or homogeneity-test decision were computed in this tranche. No point is added to the calibration plots. This is not a zero effect or a failed statistical test.

Recorded treatment-column measurement

2 distinct nonmissing values in arm_free.

Observed support in the indicated source frame; missing values excluded. N=14,609; missing=0. Frame: selected_source_data. Source: AER/Dupas_Jayachandran_Lleras_Muney_Rossi_AER_2025_215841/R/235_dupas_jayachandran_lleras_muney_rossi_replicate.R.

These are the existing data-measured counts, not counts inferred from design labels. A binary instrument, group indicator or interaction component need not be the treatment of interest; the source-design assessment above takes precedence for template applicability.

Replication status

This tranche: unsupported design; source code/documentation inspected, no estimator run.

Supplied library: verified; verification: verified; preparation: runs_with_shim. These are the library’s labels, not new verification claims. Missing data and unsupported designs are separate issues.
