What was measured
PSS consist of 14 items that assess the impact on stress in a 5-points scale (0=never, 1=almost never, 2=sometimes, 3=fairly often and 4=very often). The total scores were the sum of all 14 items. The scores were then transformed into a 100-point scale with higher numbers indication less stress. Change from baseline to week 4 was calculated by subtracting the baseline scores from the scores at week 4.
Analysis population: Includes all participants who completed both baseline and week 4 assessments.
