Participant Flow

Dyad study design. Only one consent was signed by mother to agree to both mother and child to participant in the study; therefore, a total of 578 were enrolled in the study. 4 signed the consent but were not randomized into the groups for this study and did not participate in the intervention because of a lack of desire to participate just prior to the intervention starting; therefore, were not enrolled in the arms. Mother/child dyads that went into the arms/groups Total= 574.
