Notes from the review of this manuscript

This manuscript received an indeterminate rating because HomVEE was unable to determine whether the intervention and comparison groups were equivalent on a measure of economic well-being (like income, earnings, or maternal education) or two secondary measures of socioeconomic status in the analyzed sample at baseline, prior to the home visiting intervention being provided to the intervention group.
