shown in Table 7, and by ethnicity in Table 8. Since fourstudents did not pass the intervention course with an “S”, these four students are identified inTables 7 and 8 as “U” for “Unsatisfactory” and are omitted from any further analyses. Inaddition, the seven students who failed to take the post-PSVT:R are identified in Tables 7 and 8as “No Post.”The calculated composite ACT for both TG and CG further broken down by post-PSVT:R scoresfor the TG are shown in Table 9. The CG did not take a second PSVT:R. A t-test between thecalculated composite ACT of the TG and CG indicate a significant difference (p = 0.013)between the two groups suggesting a self-selection bias to opt out of the intervention coursebased on ACT score.
