Notes: CHATS = Changing Talk Scale; SD = standard deviation. Knowledge test (CHATS) scoring: 13 items scored incorrect (0) or correct (1). Test score was calculated as the percentage of correct answers. At Time 1 no participant had completed the training. At Time 2 only immediate group participants completed the training. At Time 3 wait-listed control participants completed the training. p Values are for the paired-samples t test.
