In this study, 875 trainees who participated in ATP-LRG from January 2015 to October 2020 were interviewed using electronic questionnaires. Using a repeated-measures design to examine differences in outcomes before and after participating in the training. Questionnaire Star (Changsha Ranxing Information Technology Co., Ltd), a most widely used professional online questionnaire software platform in China, was used to design and create a link to the questionnaire.
