  • aBoth mother-response scores (on ASQ-3) and assessor observation scores both conclude the child has delayed or achieved milestones for the specified domain (that is, reports tally).

  • bType 1 disagreement: mother-response indicates milestone achievement, but observation scores suggest delay.

  • cType 2 disagreement: mother-response indicates milestone delay, but observation scores suggest achievement.

  • dOut of total 5185 and 4600 observations in intervention and control, respectively (calculated using total number of measured children X5 [development domains])

  • ASQ-3 = Ages and Stages Questionnaire-3.
