Key points from the thread (on top of what you summarized in the post):
Table with results
We used difference-in-difference models[1] to show these programs led to a 20% reduction in mortality for women, and an 8% reduction in risk of death for children under 5
Mortality reductions in different groups over time
Mortality reductions began within 2 years of program introduction and generally got larger over time

I didn’t know this term, but it’s the method that I was imagining. From Wikipedia: [This method] calculates the effect of a treatment [...] on an outcome [...] by comparing the average change over time in the outcome variable for the treatment group to the average change over time for the control group.
Thanks for sharing this, I appreciate it! I’m really excited about the study.
I haven’t read the full study yet, but I came across a Twitter thread by one of the authors, and I thought it was helpful: https://twitter.com/aaronrichterman/status/1663957463291265032?s=46&t=A7sa4lqau2E-U-pxX7DJWQ
