3.1. Demographic Variables. The various demographic data
collected were compared between caregivers and children in
the preintervention phase and those in the post-intervention
phase. Type of caregiver income differed across the two
groups, such that caregivers in the preintervention phase
tended to have a single source of income (fixed income
or government grant), while those in the postintervention
phase reported having multiple sources of income. No social
significance could be attached to the difference. Caregivers in
the pre- and post-intervention phases did not differ on any
other demographic descriptors. In addition, neither child age
nor child gender differed across the two phases. See Table 1
for demographic information of caregivers and children.
