CI Confidence interval
Number of observations: 3 months, n = 48; 6 months, n = 59; 12 months, n = 69
*Effect sizes are based on the differences between the 3-month versus the 12-month scores divided by the standard deviation of the 3-month scores. Effect sizes < 0.2 are considered trivial, from 0.2 to < 0.5 are considered small, from 0.5 to < 0.8 as moderate and ≥ 0.8 as large
**p-Values are for overall changes over time
