Repeated-measure (baseline, 6 mos, 1 yr) analysis of covariance (RM-ANCOVA) was used. For each MELS measure, the raw score was used in the analysis. Results are presented for the unadjusted model (Unadj) and either the RM-ANCOVA model with one significant interaction (One Interaction) or an additive model if there were no significant interaction effects. The ANCOVA adjusted P values are presented for the between-group factor (Group: MISC and Control) and Group-by-time (baseline, 6 months, 1 year). Covariates in the model are caregiver category (mother, grandmother, other), HAART status (On HAART or not), age at baseline, Caldwell HOME scale score at baseline, SES total at baseline, Weight-for-age Z score (WHO 2010 norms), Hopkins Symptoms Checklist 25-item scale (HSCL-25) depression score for the caregiver at 6 months, and gender.
