Subjective norms were measured on a Likert scale of 1 (disagree) through 7 (agree); 4 was considered neutral. Bolded values are significantly different from run-in (pre-intervention), within groups. GLB (n = 70 with mean value imputation); GLB+LGx (n = 70 with mean value imputation). * Significant or approaching significant differences for changes between groups.
