Table 6 Impact of SPIRIT on research use capacity (individual level): SEER self-report survey summary statistics for pre-intervention, during roll out and upon receipt of full intervention, and intervention effect estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs)
From: Increasing the capacity of policy agencies to use research findings: a stepped-wedge trial
Outcome | Pre-intervention (n = 265) mean (SD) | Intervention roll out (n = 254) mean (SD) | Full intervention received (n = 256) mean (SD) | Intervention effect (95% CI) | p value |

Confidence in using research (maximum = 35) | 23.07 (6.08) | 24.40 (5.73) | 24.63 (5.61) | 1.58 (0.12 to 3.05) | 0.0342 |
Value the organisation places on using research (maximum = 25) | 19.32 (3.64) | 19.60 (3.38) | 20.30 (3.07) | 0.45 (− 0.78 to 1.68) | 0.4721 |
Tools and systems organisation have to support research use (maximum = 21) | 17.85 (5.05) | 18.09 (4.23) | 18.70 (3.98) | 0.56 (− 1.28 to 2.4) | 0.5511 |
