Data are % (n) unless otherwise indicated. Some ns within categories do not sum to total n due to sporadic missing data (<5% of the sample for any given variable). P values reflect comparison of the sample retained at 1 month versus those lost to follow-up. All participants lost to follow-up were missing data on parental demographics, so p value could not be computed
