Regression parameter for condition predicting post-intervention score while controlling for pre-intervention score and condition X offline recruitment interaction (i.e., the parameter shown reflects effect of condition among online recruits only).

[note for reviewers: We used this statistic for consistency with the tests reported in the text. We also ran the tests by excluding offline recruits and using a single condition parameter, and the results were essentially unchanged.]
