PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Approximately 8 weeks

Population: The primary outcome was defined as acceptability across the entire sample.

Acceptability will be determined by the number of patients rating the intervention usefulness in the experimental and control arms on a 7-point Likert scale, where 1=extremely useless and 7=extremely useful.
