*Controlling for: child's age, gender, siblings, baseline HAZ, baseline WAZ, baseline WHZ, baseline motor function z-score, caregiver's age; education and baseline SRQ z-score, baseline caregiver–child interaction score, household wealth, household inhabitants and gender of household head.
HAZ, height-for-age z-score; ICC, intracluster correlation coefficient; NDA, Neurodevelopment Assessment; SB, Saving Brains Early Child Development Scale; SRQ, Self-Reporting Questionnaire; WAZ, weight-for-age z-score; WHZ, Weight-for-height z-score.
