Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	High risk	No randomization
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	High risk	Allocation concealment not reported
Baseline outcome measurement similar	Unclear risk	Baseline measurement not reported separately for intervention and control groups
Baseline characteristics similar	Low risk	No statistically significant differences between intervention and control participants’ sociodemographic characteristics (P > 0.05 for all)
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes	High risk	No blinding reported
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	Low risk	Independent samples imply no attrition
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes	High risk	Blinding not reported
Protection against contamination	Low risk	Teams chosen from geographically and socially distinct areas to minimize contamination
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Low risk	Relevant outcomes reported
