Mentors were asked “Please rate how skilled you feel you were BEFORE the training and how skilled you feel you are NOW in each of the following items.” Responses could range from 1 (not at all skilled) to 7 (extremely skilled).

M diff represents the mean difference between mentors’ self-reported level of skill thinking back to before the training as opposed to now, after the training.
