Interventions and participant timeline
All potential participants receive an explanation about the purpose and method of the study and are informed of their rights to stop or refuse to take part in the study. A special mobile number is available for potential participants to obtain additional information should they wish. All potential participants are contacted again to schedule an appointment if they agree to continue with all of the procedures. After screening is completed, they will be interviewed and examined at the clinic area, which includes CIMT, FMD, and neurocognitive evaluation. The oral examination is conducted at the dentistry clinic and the transient elastography examination will be conducted at the hepatology clinic.
