Participant Flow

In Year 1 (2011-12), eight schools participated. Following the first year, one matched pair of schools dropped out due to school administration changes and a new matched pair of schools with similar student characteristics was added for Year 2 (2012-13). Thus, ten schools participated in intervention delivery over the study period.

1909 participants were enrolled.
