SOAP Standardized Observation Analogue Procedure; SE standard error
Based upon % of intervals behavior observed (30 ten-second intervals)
Based upon number intervals behavior was observed (out of a possible 30)
Data are presented as (unadjusted) Mean (SD)
Adjusted Mean Difference means a difference of Least Squares Means from ANCOVA model controlling for Baseline score and site
P-value from ANCOVA model adjusting for Baseline score and site. Bold indicates p-value less than 0.05. Bold indicates P-value less than 0.05
Effect size calculated from adjusted mean difference divided by pooled standard deviation at baseline
Effect size calculated from adjusted mean difference divided by pooled standard deviation at endpoint
