Abstract (also Table 3, Model 2)
each additional year of CT exposure during childhood is associated with a 4% reduction in the odds of serious depressive symptoms in early adulthood [odds ratio (OR) = 0.96, 95% confidence intervals (CIs): 0.93, 0.98]
Contexto
What changed: Potential exposure to national cash transfers during ages 0–17 varied by birth cohort and country rollout timing. Comparison: Across cohorts with differing years of eligibility within and across countries, controlling for country and birth cohort fixed effects. Limits: Exposure is intent-to-treat based on policy timing rather than confirmed individual transfer receipt, and depression measures were harmonized across different instruments.
