N unless explicitly noted: Booklet = 61–62, Web = 47. Two clusters (Function and Resources) are not summarized in this table due to very low incidence of those symptoms at baseline. Function: 92.7% had ≤1 symptom at baseline (73.4% had none); Resources: 86.2% had ≤1 symptom at baseline (67.9% had none).
