ORs associated with a 6-month increase in time; significant results are shown in bold.
*Pre-intervention performance includes 3 months before implementation of the intervention.
†Performance after 6 months includes months 3 to 6 after implementation of the intervention.
‡Significantly different from the feedback-only group with p=0.049.
§Significantly different from the feedback-only group with p<0.001.
