Total score on the Treatment Acceptability and Preferences measure (Sidani et al., 2009). This is a 4-item measure with each item scored on a scale from 0 to 4. Total scores are computed as the mean of the 4 individual items, so total scores range from 0 to 4. Higher scores indicate a better outcome, as they reflect greater acceptability of the treatment provided in this clinical trial.
