Notes from the review of this manuscript
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 manuscript receives an indeterminate rating because HomVEE was unable to determine whether the intervention and comparison groups were equivalent on race or ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or a baseline measure of the outcome in the analyzed sample at baseline.
