Exploratory (non-confirmatory) comparison between the two intervention arms of the RCT; table 2 prints workshop-versus-one-on-one differences of -2.1, -2.1, and -3.7 percentage points with no significance stars. The article states the study "was not powered to definitively determine whether group counseling was as effective as one-on-one counseling."
"There was no significant difference in session attendance or academic plan completion between the workshop and one-on-one counseling groups."
