aData are proportions (95% CI). The analysis is adjusted for clustering and controlled for several covariates (sex of the child, child weight at registration, child height at registration, child age at registration and endline, maternal age, maternal education, number of additional children the mother has, number of additional children aged <5 years, and family structure) by logistic regression analysis.
bOverall ICC = 0.14, intervention arm ICC = 0.03 and control arm ICC = 0.12.25
ASQ-3 = Ages and Stages Questionnaire-3. CI = confidence interval. ECD = early child development. ICC = intracluster correlation.
