  1. *Results from logistic random effects regression, adjusting for neighborhood clustering; effect of interest is the interaction of PIP and EPDS > 18. A, B, C and D equal the percentage of participants from each sub-group with a growth Z-score ≥ -2 at a given time point. The result of (B-A)-(D-C) yields the value below for each row
