Notes: Results are from a repeated measures analysis. Possible scores for each area of implementation can range from 1 to 4, with 4 indicating greater implementation. Cohen’s d calculated as 12-month least square mean minus baseline least square mean divided by baseline standard deviation.
LSM, least square mean. SE, standard error.
