“Adequate treatment knowledge” is defined as > 50% correct on objective knowledge of treatment items (i.e., at least 20 out of 38 marks). To have adequate knowledge, participants must either get correct: i) all conceptual knowledge items (18 marks) plus at least 2 marks on numerical knowledge items (2 marks); or ii) all numerical knowledge items (20 marks)

Empty cells (−) denote outcome was not measured at that time point
