q3 · i? · causal · r2

Fidelity was assessed with a 13-item checklist covering the five PTR-YC steps, completed by research staff as the process unfolded. "participants in the PTR-YC condition completed 100% of the 13 steps"; no effect size is printed for this contrast.

"The data revealed that participants in the PTR-YC condition completed 100% of the 13 steps, and participants in the BAU condition completed, on average, less than one of the 13 steps."
