In year 1 the total cost of MPC across groups per site in Georgia was higher (M: $1790, SD: $457) than in Alabama (M: $1747, SD: $151), but not significantly so (t18=0.35, p=0.728). The opposite was true for MPC cost per attendee in year 1: Georgia - M: $106, SD: $32; Alabama - M: $163, SD: $81; t16=2.62, p=0.080.
In year 1 GTO staff costs were significantly higher in Alabama than Georgia on both a per site and per attendee basis (per site t14=4.28, p=0.005; per attendee t11=4.70, p=0.005). Also, the BGC costs of GTO training and TA were higher in Alabama than Georgia on both a per site and per attendee basis, but not significantly so (per site t9=0.32, p=0.756; per attendee t10=1.32, p=0.645).
In year 2 the total cost of MPC across groups per site in Georgia was significantly higher (M: $561, SD: $77) than in Alabama (M: $396, SD: $60), t28=6.65, p=<.001). The cost of MPC per attendee in year 2 was higher in Alabama (M: $48, SD: $25) than Georgia (M: $35, SD: $8), but not significantly so (t17=1.96, p=0.264).
In year 2 GTO staff costs were significantly higher in Alabama than Georgia on both a per site and per attendee basis (per site t14=5.85, p<.001; per attendee t7=4.18, p=0.024). Also, the BGC costs of GTO training and TA were significantly higher in Alabama than Georgia on both a per site and per attendee basis (per site t9=7.27, p<.001; per attendee t10=5.59, p<. 001).
