Note: Table values are means and standard deviations. BGC = Boys and Girls Club; MPC = Making Proud Choices an evidence-based program to prevent teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in youth; GTO = Getting to Outcomes implementation support system; TA = GTO technical assistance.
In year 1 across groups average hours of BGC staff time for MPC training for Alabama (M:25.1, SD:6.9) was not significantly different than for Georgia (M:29.8, SD:20.3), t18=0.89, p=0.774.
The use of these resources was not tracked by site. We estimated MPC implementation time based on 8 sessions of 1 hour each, and we averaged total TA supervision time across sites.
In year 1 the Alabama MPC+GTO group had higher GTO staff and BGC hours than the Georgia group, but this difference was not significant (GTO staff t13=1.24, p=0.705; BGC t10=0.23, p=0.823).
In year 1 across groups the Georgia sites had more attendees per site (M:17.4, SD:3.4) than the Alabama sites (M:12.7, SD:4.4), t28=3.41, p=.010.
One Alabama control site dropped out in Year 2 so the MPC group averages are across the remaining 7 sites.
In year 2 across groups average hours of BGC staff time for Alabama (M:6.1, SD:2.4) was significantly lower than for Georgia (M:13.6, SD:2.7), t29=8.30, p<.001.
In year 2 the Alabama MPC+GtO group had higher GTO staff and BGC hours than the Georgia group, but only the higher BGC staff hours reached the threshold of statistical significance (GTO staff t14=2.85, p=0.052; BGC t11=5.61, p=0.001).
In year 2 across groups the Georgia sites had more attendees per site (M:16.6, SD:3.4) than the Alabama sites (M:10.2, SD:4.6), t26=4.38, p=0.001.
