Attendance
Number of participants attending each of the ten weekly sessions
Measured: From beginning of intervention to end of intervention at 11 weeks
Acceptability to participants
Evaluated through qualitative interviews with a duration of 45-60 minutes
Measured: Post intervention at 12 weeks
Fidelity of the intervention
The extent to which intervention components were administered as intended. This was registered by an observer who registered any deviations from a therapy manual.
Measured: From beginning of intervention to end of intervention at 11 weeks
