Abbreviations: C-I, control-intervention difference or difference between intervention arm and GHE arm; GHE, general health education; LS-mean, least square mean.
Model 1 adjusted for baseline score and clustering.
Model 2 adjusts for age, sex, body mass index, current smoking, high-fat food intake, pain coping score, depressive symptoms, all of which demonstrated trends toward imbalance across treatment arms at baseline (Table 1).
175 participants were available at 12-month follow-up.
P values < .05 are bolded.
