Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Significant improvements were found in 81% of communication and 66% of content-delivery outcomes in the medium term (6–12 months), compared with 50% and 42% respectively in the long term (over 12 months). → Hatfield Thomas G. 2020

Narrative synthesis of delivery-quality outcomes grouped by follow-up timeframe (short <6 months, medium 6–12 months, long ≥12 months). The review reports "Effectiveness was also highest in the medium-term (between six to 12-months)" with the printed percentages for communication and content-delivery outcomes at each horizon.
"Effectiveness was also highest in the medium-term (between six to 12-months) with significant improvements in 81% of communication and 66% of content-delivery outcomes), compared with the long-term (over 12-months), where significant improvements were found in 50% of communication outcomes and 42% of content-delivery outcomes."

- Scaffold effects peak at 2–4 weeks of treatment and decrease dramatically for treatments lasting 9–24 weeks — related
- Team training programs in hospitals produce sustained improvements in teamwork knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors on the job, up to 12 months after training — related
