The changes over time and the differences in the changes over time between the safety promotion group and the control group and p values were estimated based on the linear mixed models including time, intervention and interactions between time and intervention.

Sample-estimated means and SDs.

Compliers are participants who attended ≥1 session; non-compliers are participants who did not attend any sessions; the analysis of intervention effect among compliers/non-compliers included the compliers/non-compliers who had missing values for home safety problems at one or two assessments.
