49. The disproportionate assignment of cases to the comparison and nurse-visited groups was employed to increase statistical power (the ability to detect program impact) while limiting the cost of the study by having fewer families assigned to the home visiting program.
50. There were initial differences between Groups 2 and 4 for two characteristics: Women in Group 4 lived in households where there was more unemployment and less discretionary income. These initial differences were controlled (equalized) statistically.
