Participants who reported that they guessed at the child's height, they arrived at child's height some other way, or that the child
was measured more than 3 months ago were asked to measure the child and were called back to obtain a corrected height. Participants who derived the child's height from a ruler/yardstick, school, or doctor's office within the past 3 months wer
e NOT called back.
