SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6-months

Change in HMH score (0-4) at intervention completion (6-months) compared to baseline. For each family, the difference between 6-month and baseline HMH scores will be categorized as 1) stabilized or decreased or 2) increased HMH exposure. For each arm, the proportion of families with stabilized or decreased HMH at the completion of the intervention (6-months) will be estimated.
