It must be noted, however, that the combined program was not effective in retaining an increase in participants’ Islamic knowledge at 6 months follow-up.…”

A two-arm (intervention vs. control) prospective cluster randomized controlled trial with five waves was conducted in four federal states in Germany (Bremen, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein).…”
