2.1. Design
MAY
This interventional study was designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which participants were randomly assigned either to an intervention group that would receive the MHFA training course or to a control group without any intervention during the study period. However, the control group had the option to receive the MHFA course after the 12 months of study follow-up was completed. Both groups were assessed at three time points:T0: Baseline survey from mid-September to October 2019, completed by both groups.Intervention: MHFA/ensa training program from October 2019–December 2019.T1: Post-intervention with first follow-up survey three months after the MHFA/ensa training intervention completed by both groups (from March to May 2020).T2: Follow-up 12 months after the MHFA/ensa training intervention in December 2020 and completed by both groups.
