Performance scores are presented as unadjusted.

P value is for testing the difference between intervention and control arm at baseline and one year follow up, andbaseline and two years follow up, respectively, using a mixed logistic model for dichotomous outcomes, and a mixed regression model for continuous outcomes adjusting for baseline scores.
