Note: Implementation fidelity scores were averaged across all programs in the Intervention (CTC) and Control (C) communities.

Significance tests were conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/Service/Statistics/Signed_Rank_Test.html; statistically significant (p<.05) differences based on two-tailed tests are indicated in bold.
