Table 3.
P values are presented for the color-object association test (COAT) memory measures (immediate recall, total recall), from a repeated-measure (baseline, 6 months, 1 year) analysis of covariance (RM-ANCOVA). Unadjusted (Unadj) and Adjusted (Adjust) between-group comparison is for MISC and Control groups. Also presented are the RM-ANCOVA P values with the Achenbach CBCL global scale totals (internalizing symptoms, externalizing symptoms, total symptoms). The raw score is used in the analysis. Covariates in the model are age at baseline, Caldwell HOME scale score at baseline, SES total at baseline, weight-for-age Z score (CDC 2000 norms), Hopkins Symptoms Checklist 25-item scale (HSCL-25) anxiety score for the caregiver at 12mos, caregiver years of formal schooling, and gender. Group by gender is the only interaction effect included in this model. Statistically significant P values are in bold.
