Note(s): Intercepts indicate mean of control group at pretest; group effects indicate difference between intervention and control group at pretest (positive coefficient indicates higher scores for intervention group); time effects indicate pre-to-post change in control group (positive coefficient indicates increase); group × time interaction indicates differential pre-to-post change in the intervention group relative to the control group (positive coefficient indicates greater increase for Intervention group). B = Unstandardized estimates, SE = standard error, d = Cohen’s d effect size. Time effects = posttest minus pretest changes, so positive B estimates indicate increase over time. p-Values reflect uncorrected tests. Interaction terms were not statistically significant after Benjamini–Hochberg corrections, as indicated by lack of italic font
