ICC, intracluster correlation coefficient. 1 = intervention, 0 = control. Analyses were adjusted for child age and sex, tester/interviewer, baseline score as fixed effects and community clinic as a random effect. Analyses for child development and behavior outcomes also included place of test, and a place of test x group interaction term as fixed effects. p values for all 10 primary outcomes have been corrected for with Holm’s stepdown procedure.
