  1. aModel includes log-transformed outcome variable and DiD coefficient (95% CI) is exponentiated
  2. bRelative change is equivalent to the DiD coefficient (for models with log-transformed outcome variables) or is calculated by dividing the DiD coefficient with the pre-intervention mean at ECHO sites (for models that do not have log-transformed outcome variables)
  3. cAbsolute change is calculated by multiplying the DiD coefficient by the pre-intervention mean at ECHO sites (for models with log-transformed outcome variables) or is equivalent to the DiD coefficient (for models that do not have log-transformed outcome variables)
