a Recruitment goals varied by jurisdiction and the number of communities participating (Alaska = 4 communities, American Samoa = 6 communities, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands = 6 communities, Guam = 5 communities, and Hawai‘i = 6 communities). The desired number of participants was 180 per community with a minimum number of 150 per community in the intervention jurisdictions in order to assess change. For Alaska only, where the number of communities was limited to 4 due to resources, the desired number of participants was 200 per community with a minimum number of 180 per community. The minimum number in each jurisdiction of the Freely Associated States of Micronesia was 200 children in order to determine prevalence.

b Children were consented after screening for eligibility (e.g., age 2-8 years old, resident of targeted community) with parents.
