This manuscript receives an indeterminate rating. That means HomVEE reviewers lacked sufficient information on one or more features of the study design required to receive a rating of moderate or high. A rating of indeterminate is not a statement about the quality of the research or the research design. This research presented findings at two follow-up time points: Year 4 and Year 5. The indeterminate rating was assigned to most findings at Year 4, and several at Year 5, because HomVEE was unable to determine whether the intervention and comparison groups were equivalent on race or ethnicity and socioeconomic status in the analyzed sample at baseline. All other findings received a low rating because they did not satisfy the requirements for measure reliability under HomVEE Version 2 standards or because they did not demonstrate equivalence on race or ethnicity and were required to do so.
Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: None found. SocialScienceRegistry.org Identifier: None found. Registry of Efficacy and Effectiveness Studies Identifier: None found. Study registration was assessed by HomVEE for Clinicaltrials.gov beginning with the 2014 review, and for other registries beginning with the 2021 review.
