Large tables going beyond margins

Question

I am new to LaTeX and now trying to generate a table with the following code. Even with all the fixes that I gathered from this site, I don't get the perfect table the margin width has increased but the \hline goes only till the original margins on the right side. I would really appreciate any help.

\begin{table}[htbp]%
\footnotesize%
\centering%
\caption{\textbf{Impact of policy on psychosocial outcomes (ITT estimates)}}
\noindent
\begin{adjustwidth}{-1cm}{-1cm}
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\textwidth minus \textwidth}}l c c c c c c c c@{}}

Possible duplicate: My table doesn't fit; what are my options? — Werner, Nov 14 '17 at 00:58
Welcome to TeX SX! Try replacing \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth} with \begin{tabular*}{\linewidth} . — Bernard, Nov 14 '17 at 01:45
Please always provide compilable code we can use to reproduce the problem. Why do you think your table won't fit on my standard page size? Without a complete minimal example, the table may well fit for some of us and not others. The same is true of any answer - it may fit the table here, but not for you. — cfr, Nov 14 '17 at 02:29

I just redesigned your table. With a small trick, not only the changewidth environment is not necessary anymore but also the table's font size can be normalsize.

For better number-column alignment, I suggest using type S siunitx column and tabularx. Note that the multirow cell notion is just applied to handle the long variables of the column i:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{booktabs, multirow, tabularx}
\newcolumntype{C}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
\newcommand\mcx[1]{ \multicolumn{1}{C}{#1}}
\newcommand\mcc[1]{\multicolumn{2}{c}{#1}}

%-------------------------------- show page layout, only for test
\usepackage{showframe}
\renewcommand\ShowFrameLinethickness{0.15pt}
\renewcommand*\ShowFrameColor{\color{red}}
