The percentage of this subsample still being bullied this frequently at 3\u2010month follow\u2010up was 33.4%, a reduction of 66.6%. Most other effects of the program were statistically significant but very small, although there was a general pattern of significant linear trends towards \u2018improvement\u2019.
