BMI: Body Mass Index; SD Standard Deviation. Data for 55 children excluding four children with missing outcome data at all four data collection time points. This table presents changes in outcomes between the pre-test (baseline) and post-test measures for intervention groups. Promotoras completed post-test measures six weeks after baseline. p-values are for uncorrected overall p-value for analysis of variance (ANOVA) for differences in mean changes between intervention and control groups. * Statistically significant difference between group 5 and all other groups based on p-values < 0.05 for group differences generated from Tukey test to control Type 1 error rate.
