Challenge

Does taking part in freshwater monitoring actually change what volunteers know and how they intend to act? Compare the FLOW treatment group against the controls, and check whether any gain persists.

Where to start
Load Data_FLOW_survey.xlsx (one sheet, one row per participant). Columns repeat across waves via suffixes: .1 = baseline, .2 = post, .3 = follow-up (follow-up exists only for group == 'Treatment'). Start with the objective quiz knowledge_score.1 vs knowledge_score.2, grouped by the 'group' column (Treatment, Control1, Control2), then repeat the before->after difference for the Likert-1-5 constructs (attitude, awareness, behavioral_control, collective_efficacy, group_id, nature_rel, skills).
What to share
A before/after chart of knowledge by group, a comparison of the treatment-vs-control change across constructs (e.g. a dumbbell or delta bar), and a look at whether the treatment gain lasts into the .3 follow-up, plus a short note on which measures moved and whether the effect is durable.
