Interventions | Intervention was the ASAP, a "personalized task‐oriented training program that incorporates elements of skill acquisition, capacity building, with intrinsic motivational enhancements." Intervention was provided in 3‐week sessions of 4 consecutive visits each separated by 1 month Intervention was provided at different durations: 0, 15, 30, or 60 hours, depending on group allocation. These figures are the total amount of intervention provided in the study |
