a Values are means ± SD, based on a scale of Strongly Agree = 5, Agree = 4, Not Sure = 3, Disagree = 2, and Strongly Disagree = 1.
b Values are means ± SD, based on a scale of Strongly Disagree = 5, Disagree = 4, Not Sure = 3, Agree = 2, and Strongly Agree = 1.
c Based on a scale from 1 = No confidence, to 5 = Lots of confidence
d n=16 (at Baseline and 3 Months), n=12 (at 12 Months).
e n=25
Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney non-parametric comparison between HE-HA and CON groups at baseline, 3 months, and 12 months.
