Flowchart of participant’s recruitment and trial design.

<p><i>Note:</i> During follow-ups of both the intervention and the control groups, some participants were contacted by phone, increasing the number of attendees from previous follow-up.</p

Measures of self-reported health status.

<p><i>Note:</i> Means and standard deviations are reported for each outcome measure at month 0 and at month 3, 9 and 15 until completion of the study. Means were generated using participants with data at least three time points for the outcome of interest. P-values are based on linear mixed modelling. An increase in the scores of the SF-12 scales means an improvement in the perceived rate of wellbeing.</p>*<p>P-values are interpreted from the results of comparisons between specific time points.
