Participant Flow

December 2021 - January 2023

Randomization for the study was carried out on the website random.org; unique values were generated to divide 305 into 2 unique groups. The first group of 161 (81+81) numbers was randomly assigned to the intervention group, while the second group of 143 numbers was assigned to the control group.
