1
From a linear mixed model adjusted for age and gender and including random effects for sites and care settings.
2
Institutions or community clusters sampled within sites.
3
Percent reduction in overall variance upon introduction of dichotomous variable and random site-level slopes for setting type, conditional on site, age, and gender.
4
Mean of three K-ABC-II subtests with responses converted to scaled scores using age-specific norms (range 0–19 with higher being better).
5
CVLT score defined as the mean number of items recalled in three administrations (range 0–15).
