Model 1: crude mixed-effects model.
Model 2: mixed-effects model adjusted for baseline knowledge.
Model 3: mixed-effects model adjusted for baseline knowledge, TPB, and skill, gender, and age.
Model 4: mixed-effects model adjusted for baseline knowledge, TPB, and skill, gender, age, ethnicity, position, job title, and years of experience.
LOCF Last observation carried forward, n number, SD Standard deviation
^aTest for the effect of intervention by province in the overall analysis produced a p-value of 0.027 after adjusting for baseline knowledge, skill, and TPB, gender, age, ethnicity, position, job title, and years of experience. ^bTest for the effect of intervention over time
