Baseline (N = 164)
Antibacterial product use in household‡ 1.59 0.84–3.01, 0.16
Year-end (N = 201)
Antibacterial product use in household 1.73 0.97–3.09, 0.06

*OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; aOR, adjusted odds ratio.
†OR adjusted for all variables that were significant in univariate analyses at p<0.05.
‡Prior reported antibacterial product use was controlled for but did not have any effect on the point estimate. Therefore, "group" point estimates reflect use of antibacterial product after randomization.
