The authors would like to thank Thomas Bein, who, together with CA and SB was largely responsible for the project’s conceptualisation, the successful acquisition of the funding and the start of the project. We appreciate the commitment of Annette Weiß who supported the PINA study as a valuable colleague during the first year of study. We would like to thank Stefanie March and Christoph Stallmann for providing consulting advice regarding data protection issues. Further, we highly appreciate the commitment of our study nurse Christine Liebl who thoroughly performed the screening of eligible patients and took care of all study participants during intervention and follow-up assessment. Moreover, we would like to thank Philipp Schmidt, who assisted in data cleaning and analyses. Finally, we are grateful for the valuable shared experiences and the commitment of all our study participants both those in the concept development and those in the pilot study.
