 Intention to treat analysis, comparing mean change in numbers of students observed to use primary site from pre-test to post-test by group

Control schools (n=26) Intervention schools (n=25) Group difference (95% CI) P value
Pre-test
Mean (SD) use* 3.49 (2.82) 3.24 (2.83) −0.25
Range of use 0-59 0-30
Intra-school correlation coefficient 0.30 0.40
Post-test
Mean (SD) use† 3.46 (2.69) 5.87 (4.70) 2.41
Range of use 0-34 0-47
Intra-school correlation coefficient 0.34 0.52
Change from pre-test to post-test
Mean change‡ −0.03 (2.78) 2.63 (4.26) 2.67 (0.65 to 4.68) 0.011

*Aggregate mean of observations on 16 days.

†Aggregate mean of observations on 14 days.

‡Difference calculated as post-test mean use minus pre-test mean use.
