In Table 2, Mean and SD were opposite between the intervention group and the wait-list control group. In Table 3, there was a mistake in the annotation: the number of the intervention group was 142. The corrected Table 2 and Table 3 are presented below.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

Means and standard deviation (SD) are reported for each primary and secondary outcome at baseline (T0), 9 (T1) and 19 (T2) weeks of follow-up. p-values are based on mixed-model repeated measures ANOVA. Job demands were adjusted for in the model. †Cohen’s d: Small effect 0.20–0.49, medium effect 0.50–0.79, large effect >0.8010) . ‡Intervention group (n=142) §Wait-list control group (n=121).
