Effect of Outreach
- Overall, changes over time do not appear to be associated with assigned outreach group (receiving a letter was not in and of itself sufficient to increase accessibility).
- However, those self-selected institutions who received support and/or training (regardless of assigned group) showed significantly more improvement than those who received none, but only on the three checkpoints where there was significant improvement overall.
