Note. Prop = Proportion; Part = Intervention participant.

a

The posttest sample size was 40 networks, because two networks did not administer a posttest survey. The measures that relied on student survey data (i.e., free lunch status, grades, delinquency, substance use attitudes) had n = 39 at posttest because one network did not have any survey data from SFP10-14 participants in that network at that assessment.

b

Measure scored as the difference in proportions between participants and non-participants. Positive values indicate that participants were higher than non-participants on that measure.

c

Measure scored as the Cohen’s D effect size between participants and non-participants. Positive values indicate that participants were higher than non-participants on that measure.
