Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization will be block type. 20 blocks with a volume of 4 are used. In each block, two allocations for the control group and two allocations for the intervention group are considered. Random sequencing will be generated by web-based randomization using the site (https://www.sealedenvelope.com). The generated sequence will also be centrally hidden so that the list of random assignment sequences is provided to someone outside the research team. As soon as a person is eligible to participate in the study, the researcher or sampler will contact the person who has the random assignment sequence and he or she will code the participants to enter the study according to the sequence list.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The study is a three-blind study because the participants are unaware of the type of intervention because the control group also has a fake intervention. The questionnaires will be completed in the post-test and follow-up phase by questioners who do not know how the participants are placed in the intervention and control groups, and the statistical expert who will analyze the data will also know the codes of the participants in the intervention and control groups. Does not know.
