Note: Unless noted otherwise, impacts were assessed at the end of the first year after entry to the study. Key to symbols: “a” to “i” superscripts refer to table notes located in Appendix B. “−” indicates a less favorable outcome for the treatment group as compared to the control group. “+” indicates a more favorable outcome for the treatment group as compared to the control group. “∼” indicates the statistical significance of the treatment-control-group difference in outcome was not reported. “NS” indicates the treatment-control-group difference in outcome was not statistically significant at the 5 percent level. “*” indicates the treatment-control-group difference in outcome was statistically significant at the 5 percent level. “#” indicates the statistical significance of the treatment-control-group difference in outcome was assessed using multivariate techniques to control or adjust for baseline characteristics.
