^aSelf-efficacy = self-efficacy to cope with stress. Social support = social support for stress management. Score ranged from 1 to 4 for each variabl; the higher socore, the better. Baseline: N = 569 (387 intervention, 182 comparison). T2: n = 338 (212 intervention, 126 comparison). T3: n = 311 (196 intervention, 115 comparison). **p ≤ 0.01 for comparisons between the intervention and comparison groups within a timeframe. #p ≤ 0.05 for comparisons between T2 and T3 within the comparison group
