Posttraining survey items on a 5-point Likert scale measured means efficacy (usefulness, ease of use, well constructedness, scenario relevance, and timeliness of help), with "all measures of means efficacy were high" across items.

"All measures of means efficacy were high for the trainings and rated it as being a useful tool, well constructed, easy to use, “likely to help the learner with a student in psychological distress,” based on scenarios that are relevant and aiding the learner in getting timely help for the student"
