Results

Time to relapse was statistically significantly longer in the psychoeducation group than in the control group (Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, p=0.002). The relapse rate up to the 9-month follow-up was 8.3% and 50.0%, respectively (RR=0.17, 95%CI: 0.04 to 0.66; NNT=2.4, 95%CI: 1.6 to 4.9). In Cox proportional hazard analysis, baseline EE did not moderate the effectiveness of the intervention.
