Results From 2005-2010, SWSC outperformed Non-SWSC in QE (88% vs 85%, p<0.02), CE (86% vs 82%, p<0.01) and QE/CE (77% vs 72%, p<0.01). From 2010-2015, SWSC outperformed Non-SWSC in QE (91% vs 86%, p<0.01) and QE/CE (77% vs 71%, p<0.01), but did not achieve statistical significance in CE (83% vs 81%, p=0.09). Conclusions SWSC programs outperformed Non-SWSC across QE and CE in the early period, but only on QE in the late period.
