Baseline Characteristics

Participants were families of individuals with ABI of associations for families of individuals with ABI in Japan.

Participant flow

All the 82 associations for families of individuals with ABI in Japan invited in this study. Though, we excluded any association with fewer than 15 members (6 clusters) or unspecified members (43 clusters). Of the 18 eligible associations, studies conducted in 16 randomly selected associations were performed based on anticipation following: the required cluster size was 8 associations for each group.Before randomization assigned to two groups, a stratified randomization was adopted to reduce an unequal number of individuals which may be assigned to each arm of the study and performed based on the median cluster size 45 in eligible cluster. Then potential participants were randomly assigned to two groups (ratio=1:1): 8 associations in the intervention group (n= 120) and 8 associations in the control group (n=120). The associations mailed potential participants sequential invitation to express an interest in joining the study, of which 50 in each group expressed their participation in the study.
A total of 62 participants completed the study (retention rate: 25.8%): 9 participants withdrew by the three days interval (intervention group n = 9; control group n = 0) and 24 participants withdrew by the end of the month interval (intervention group n = 10; control group n = 14).
