Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Record was updated 11/2/2021 to include more detailed information about outcome measure time points. Specifically, secondary outcome measures will be collected more frequently over the course of the study (i.e., at baseline \[before starting intervention\], immediate follow-up \[week 12\], and long-term follow-up \[3 months after intervention\] assessments). No changes were made to outcome measures or how they are operationalized.
