All analysis used mixed-model analysis (type III test of fixed effect) adjusted for starting study arm, random effect and washout period.
*There were 63 parents and 126 surveys. Of these, 47 completed both interventions, nine completed PPCBR only and seven completed non-PPCBR only. Some parents did not answer the whole survey.
