  • *The linear mixed model accounts for the randomisation, the clustering within homes, the repeated measurements within clients and estimates the systematic effect of time and intervention.

  • †Effect=difference between intervention and control group in change from baseline.

  • ‡Lower scores indicate a better rating.
