As the effects we observed were not qualified by year (i.e., no significant Group x Time x Year interactions), we also report the results of the analyses in the combined sample (N = 157) to provide a more comprehensive picture for the reader.Before running the analyses, independent t-tests were conducted to compare groups at baseline (i.e., at pre-test) for demographic variables and outcome measures. In Year 1, a significant difference was observed for the Neuroticism variable, such that those in the intervention group scored significantly higher in Neuroticism at the pre-test than those in the waitlist control group (There were no significant differences for any of the other variables for Phase 2 (Overall, we had a very consistent pattern of change favoring the intervention group, particularly when it comes to variables related to emotional well-being and mindfulness. The effects were more apparent in the combined, larger sample.Details on these results can be found in the
