Fixed effects of the MC on perceived stress
Estimated values and effects of the two MCs are presented in Table Estimated fixed and random effects, effect sizes, and 95% confidence intervals
Abbreviations: 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; Trajectories based on raw and estimated values of perceived stress in women and men in the intervention and control groups across 2 years. We noted that the steeper decrease in stress in women than men in the intervention group (women showed a decrease in stress of 1.02 point more on the PSS than men) after the second checkup was not significant since their confidence intervals were overlapping (women: [−2.44, −0.40]; men: [−1.43, 0.64]).
