  • *Knowledge development across CSLC child safety strategies and tools was measured on a 5-point Likert scale: 1=Developed no knowledge; 2=Developed a little knowledge; 3=Developed some knowledge; 4=Developed much knowledge; 5=Developed a great deal of knowledge; and dichotomised as No/A little versus Some/Much/A great deal of knowledge developed.

  • †Effectiveness of CSLC strategies and tools to improve aspects of workforce development and helpfulness of specific CSLC strategies to spread programmes/strategies were measured on a 5-point Likert scale: 1=Not at all; 2=A little; 3=Somewhat; 4=Much; 5=A great deal; and dichotomised as Not at all/A little versus Somewhat/Much/A great deal.
