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? At the delayed post-test the treatment group still scored significantly higher than the control group (mean difference 17.16, p = .030), and the three subscale differences remained significant. → Karimi 2011
