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? The composite gatekeeper behavior score at 3-month follow-up compared to before VOC training was trending toward a statistically significant increase, t(257) = 1.41, p = .160. → Cate 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r1
A paired samples t-test compared the four-item composite behavior score (number of student veterans spoken with, of concern, approached, and referred) for participants reporting a student veteran in their classroom (N = 200), showing a non-significant upward trend.
"The result indicated the composite behavior score at 3-month follow-up compared to before VOC training was trending toward a statistically significant increase, t(257) = 1.41, p= .160"
