Effects of R&W The standardized regression coefficients of the slope on the intervention conditions (compared to the Control condition) are reported per outcome in Table 4. The effect sizes between measurement points and overall effect sizes are reported per outcome for the intervention condition (compared to the Control condition) in Table 5. Intrapersonal domain. Students in the Light condition showed a more beneficial trajectory of change for psychological wellbeing, sexual autonomy, and internalizing behavior compared to students in the Control condition (see Figure 2). Effect sizes were small (Cohen’s d = .26 - .38; Cohen, 1988). In the Light condition students remained stable on psychological wellbeing (slope = .08), whereas students in the Control condition decreased (slope = -.25). The intervention effect is strongest from T2 to T3, i.e., in between the first and second year of the intervention. On sexual autonomy, students in the Light condition showed a steeper increase (slope = .73) than students in the Control condition (slope = .32). Students improved most in the first year of the intervention. For internalizing behavior, students in the Light and Standard conditions showed a steeper decline (slope Light = -.60; slope Standard = -.53) than students in the 3
