The p-values for changes with time within each group are from Wilcoxon matched pairs tests using data at 0 and 18 months. None of these 10 comparisons are significant at the 0.05 level in the multiple comparisons sense, after applying the Benjamini and Hochberg procedure.62
The p-values for the difference between the dietitian-only and spirituality groups are from Mann-Whitney tests. None of these 5 comparisons are significant at the 0.05 level in the multiple comparisons sense, after applying the Benjamini and Hochberg procedure.
One subject reported too few foods eaten at baseline to calculate a Healthy Eating Index score. The mean intakes at baseline and changes in dietary intakes were similar with that subject excluded.
