  1. Legend: Table shows secondary implementation and effectiveness outcomes for the stepped-wedge cluster RCT. Secondary implementation outcomes are measured via PSH staff surveys, except as otherwise noted. Secondary effectiveness outcomes are measured via PSH staff surveys and analysis of Medicaid claims data for PSH tenants
  2. aSelected building leaders and key staff (e.g., staff champions) will complete self-assessment surveys as described in the “Primary outcome” section
  3. bBuildings in the final intervention wave (wave 4) will complete self-assessment surveys at one additional timepoint, to allow completion of a final fidelity checklist to assess sustainment for this wave
