Because of rolling enrollment of participants, total sample was calculated for each individual based upon date of enrollment and of assessment wave. Some participants did not have enough time in the program to reach a particular wave (e.g., 3 month, 6 month) of assessment. Adherence status was calculated based whether a participant was active in the program for a particular wave of assessment and at least one subsequent assessment. As a consequence, activity status for the 12-month assessment is not available because data collection for this article did not go beyond 12 months. There were no significant differences in adherence rates between the new sites overall and Durham. Individual adherence site comparisons were not conducted.
SD=standard deviation.
