We will use independent samples tests for proportions to compare treatment groups. We will also use generalized linear models to examine treatment group differences including important covariates such as income, education, age and marital status. Further, data from the proposed study will be use the data from the Kommour treatment group to estimate intraclass correlations as an indicator of clustering due to the nesting of participants within groups.
