Participants
Four hundred and three patients were referred for participation
in the study. Of these, 226 did not meet inclusion
criteria. Of the 186 remaining patients, 72 refused
to participate. One hundred and fourteen patients were
randomized and allocated to the two treatment arms.
During the intervention, 18 patients dropped out, 10 in
the MI group and 8 in the HE group (see figure 1).
