*

The differences between groups in CHOICE training and implementation hours by site in year 1 were not statistically significant: p = .584 and p = .538, respectively.

The use of these resources was not tracked by site; thus, only site averages are available.

In year 2 BGC staff in the CHOICE+GTO group sites spent significantly more hours on CHOICE implementation than those in the CHOICE only group: p = .011.
