These questions were asked in the Final (week 12) study questionnaire. Participants were asked to indicate on a scale from 1–7, how much they disagreed (strongly disagreed = 1) or agreed (strongly agreed = 7) with the corresponding statements (4 was neutral). The average for each question is represented as mean ± SEM. An independent samples 2-sided t-test was used to determine differences between Genetic and Non-Genetic groups. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant and is indicated in bold font. The question associated with the data can be found in Supplementary File: Q2. SEM, standard error of mean.
