Statistical significance: *= p < .05; **= p < .01; ***= p < .001; ns = not statistically significant; if blank, no statistical test was reported.<br />
Notable Findings<br />
(This study) “adds strength to earlier findings by demonstrating that trainees not only exhibit more suicide<br />
intervention knowledge, but that <strong>the</strong>y can apply this knowledge appropriately to situations involving a<br />
person at risk” (p. 5)<br />
General Notes<br />
• Standard deviations for <strong>the</strong> comparison group were not reported and relevant statistical tests<br />
(ANCOVA) may not have been performed, so <strong>the</strong> calculation <strong>of</strong> effect sizes for ASIST v. comparison<br />
group was not possible.<br />
