Models adjusted for age and gender of the participants, season of sampling, place sampled in the home, location of the house (farm, non-farm), family income, smoking in the house, presence of central air conditioning, presence of pets in the house, and main heat source.
Interaction term for Intervention-by-visit was significant (P=0.049).
Bold indicates significant associations with the asthma symptoms (p-value < 0.05)
