q2 i? In a moderator analysis across 46 single-case studies, the moderation effect of complete BST was 12.69 percentage points (p < .0125): participants who received BST averaged an estimated 96.06% DTT implementation fidelity, significantly higher than those who received one, two, or three components. The comparison is between participants in different studies, not a randomised contrast of training packages. → Joelle Fingerhut 2022

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Model 1 of the HLM meta-analysis, with BST as moderator, across 46 SCED studies (130 of 224 participants received BST). The moderation effect was "12.69%", γ̂200 = 12.69, t(3692) = 10.69, p < .0125. The BST and partial-component groups are participants from different studies, so the comparison is associational rather than a randomised test of the training packages.

"Participants who received BST had an average estimated DTT implementation score of 96.06%, demonstrating that participants who received BST were statistically significantly more likely to have a higher DTT implementation score than those who did not receive BST (i.e., received only one, two, or three training components)."
