In each cell, “X” indicates that there was a statistically significant impact on that outcome. The “0” indicates that the outcome was tested, and no positive statistically significant impact was found. The dark gray cells represent primary targeted outcomes for the program; the light gray cells represents secondary targeted outcomes; the white cells represents non-targeted outcomes. FN represents a Kindergarten follow-up outcome.
