Notes:

1Δ refers to the subject-specific change in the outcome from timepoint 1 to timepoint 2. 95%CI refers to the 95% confidence interval.

2Adjusted estimates control for the time in which the endline and follow-up surveys were conducted. A generalized linear model (GLM) using a normal distribution and identity link was used to compare scores. There was a delay in the timing of the endline survey for many participants, which ranged from 0 to 72 days (mean = 13.30, SD = 11.28). There was also delay in the timing of the follow-up survey for many participants, which ranged from 13 to 121 days (mean = 64.10, SD = 8.97).
