Participant Flow

347 subjects were enrolled into the study (i.e., signed consent) and were administered the baseline assessment. Final eligibility determination was made after baseline assessments. Only participants who met final inclusion/exclusion criteria (after baseline) were eligible for randomization. Results are only provided for the 149 randomized subjects.
