Notes: Percentages can exceed 100% because of adjustment for covariates.
Two-way interaction among training uptake and assessment round, adjusted for state (Washington State vs. Colorado), type of store (recreational cannabis sales only vs. recreational and medical sales) and region (metropolitan area vs. outlying areas); two tailed p value.
