Analysis included ECE programs that served infants, toddlers, and preschoolers and responded to at least one item per each topic area of the NAP SACC at preassessment and at least one item in postassessment.

aChange Scores were calculated by subtracting from preassessment from postassessment. Statistically significant changes from preassessment to postassessment, after adjusting for NAP SACC preassessment score, are denoted with *p < .05, **p < .01, or ***p < .001.

b  p-values shown were for model-estimated differences in change scores per intervention type (original vs. adaptation), after adjusting for NAP SACC preassessment scores.
