Note. FUP1 or 2 = follow-up 1 or 2. P values for cross-sectional analyses and change between 2 time points result from independent t test and regression analyses; P values for the intent-to-treat analysis are from unadjusted growth models (which included all participants) testing for intervention effect and refer to the significance of the interaction term of group and time.

a

Significant difference at baseline (P = .04).

b

1 = never or rarely; 2 = occasionally; 3 = often; 4 = very often.
