A generalized additive logistic model was adjusted for calendar time, sex, child's age and helminth infection status at the 13-month evaluation, socioeconomic status, mother's antiparasite treatment, mother's education level, mother's ethnicity, urban versus rural residence, and overcrowding of home. In addition, for the tetanus toxoid response only, adjustments were made for the number of doses of tetanus toxoid received by the mother during pregnancy. The Holm method was used to adjust for multiple comparisons separately for primary and secondary end points.
