Table 7 Outcome measures for the clinical practice—self, clinical practice—peers, quality assurance and workplace policies scales. For Jamaica, Kenya and Uganda, the following within-country comparisons were calculated: pre (intervention versus control); and pre-intervention versus pre-control versus post-intervention versus post-control. For South Africa, a pre versus post comparison was included

  1. vs. versus
  2. aThe p values displayed in the “Pre” columns are a comparison of mean scores between intervention and control districts at baseline. These were calculated using an unpaired t test. The other p values, which are displayed under the intervention/control columns, are a comparison of mean differences in the pre-post scores for intervention versus control groups. p values for (Pre-Int vs. Pre-Con vs. Post-Int vs. Post-Con) for Kenya, Jamaica and Uganda were calculated using an online t test tool; p values for South Africa were calculated using an unpaired t test
