Participants are randomly assigned to one of these two groups and tracked over six months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves motivational interviewing and education rather than medication or medical procedures, no traditional side effects are expected. However, participants may experience psychological discomfort from discussing personal habits.
