^aMore effective: ≥75% of facilitator’s practices had improved CPCQ scores and/or ABS performance; less effective: <50% of facilitator’s practices had improved CPCQ scores and/or ABS performance. A total of 53 facilitators who were neither more effective nor less effective were excluded from effectiveness analyses.
