a

p-values for change over time within each group were obtained using paired t-tests.

b

Difference in change over time for each intervention group compared to the control group was estimated using analysis of covariance adjusting for baseline score and health insurance status.

c

Effect sizes were calculated as the difference in group means standardized by the pooled standard deviation (Cohen’s d)

d

Responses to attitude items coded: 1=Not important, 2=Somewhat important, 3=Important, 4=Very important, 5=Extremely important

e

Responses to self-efficacy items coded: 1=Not confident, 2=Somewhat confident, 3=Confident, 4=Very confident, 5=Extremely confident
