The first group received six wellness coaching sessions. The second group received a self-study workbook. The control group took the questionnaires but did not receive feedback. Investigators hypothesized that the participants with the most intervention time would show the most change in terms of both number of changes and permanence of change, the self-study participants would be second, and the control group last. All three groups made statistically significant improvements in different areas.
Results demonstrate positive changes in post intervention groups.
