Values are number of participants included in analysis, prevalence (percentage of children), or prevalence ratio (95% CI).
Adjusted for baseline MDAT scores.
Adjusted for variables in the minimally adjusted model and potentially adjusted for child age at measurement, sex, birth order, maternal age, height, education, literacy, marital status, tribe, occupation, religion, number of children under 5 y in the household, food security, housing and asset index, animal ownership, distance to water source, closest health center, length-for-age z-score, weight-for-length z-score, HOME inventory score, staff member who performed measurements, month of measurement, time of day of measurement, child's demeanor during measurement, and endline Family Care Indicator score. Additionally, the language outcomes are potentially adjusted for the child's primary language and exposure to multiple languages, the elicited imitation outcomes are potentially adjusted for spontaneous actions performed before demonstration.
