Attendance and Program Satisfaction
Of the 56 participants who consented to participate across both
treatment conditions, 82.1% of veterans attended at least one treatment
session and 44.6% completed all seven sessions, with the average being
4.73 sessions attended across conditions. Regarding surveys, 3 (5.4%)
veterans did not complete the baseline survey and 15 did not complete
the follow-up survey (26.8%). Of the 56 who consented, 40 (71.43%)
completed all study components (i.e., completed both baseline and
follow-up surveys and attended at least one treatment session) and were
considered the analytic sample for analyses (MMMI n = 21; ESn = 19). There were no significant statistical differences on
demographic characteristics (e.g., age, years in military, gender) and
baseline scores on outcome variables between the analytic group
(n = 40) and those not in the analytic group (n = 16).
Among the 40 veterans in the analytic sample, most participants
identified as being White (77.5%), were men (62.5%), and reported a
service-connected disability (82.5%). They reported a mean age of 42.70
years (Median = 41.00, SD = 10.07) and on average served
13.01 years in the military (Median = 8.00, SD = 9.57).
The Army (55.0%) and Navy (12.5%) were the most represented branches.
Within our analytic sample, there were no significant differences in the
average number of sessions attended between the MMMI (M = 6.10,SD = 1.48) and the ES (M = 6.11, SD = 1.37) groups.
In Table 1, we provide information on treatment satisfaction (i.e.,
reactions, attitudes/learning/knowledge, behavior, return on investment,
and total score on satisfaction) by treatment condition (MMMI n =
21; ES n = 19). Regarding specific satisfaction questions, the
MMMI condition reported significantly higher confidence in their ability
to apply the program content to their daily live since the training
(Cohen’s D = 1.19), reported more often having put the things they have
learned into practice (Cohen’s D = 0.83), and reported that they
benefitted more from the program (Cohen’s D = 0.78). Regarding
subscales, the MMMI condition reported higher satisfaction in behavior
(Cohen’s D = 0.67) and return on investment (Cohen’s D = 0.78). No other
statistically significant program satisfaction differences were noted.
