The mean (SD) values for the groups were 3.0 (2.9) for the T group, 3.6 (2.9) for the TPh group, and 5.8 (2.4) for the TMMY group. Improved patient enablement, i.e., “better” or “much better”, was reported by 40–92% of participants in each question, as shown in The mean (SD) PEI total score at the 1-year follow-up was 4.1 (3.4) (Md = 4, range 0–11). The mean (SD) values for the groups were 3.8 (3.8) for the T group, 2.7 (2.6) for the TPh group, and 6.3 (3.1) for the TMMY group. The question with the highest percentage of participants reporting improved enablement was “(Q2)… able to understand your illness/disabilities” (76% of participants), and the question with the lowest improvement was “(Q5)… confident about your health” (33% of participants).
