Secondary Objective: Not Applicable Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 and 8 weeks (alongside baseline) SECONDARY OUTCOME: Secondary end point(s): 2. The Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) to measure resilience is a 6‐item participant self‐report measure, which assesses an individual’s ability to bounce back or recover from stress. (Smith et al., 2008).; 3. The GAD‐7 is a well validated and widely used 7‐item measure of anxiety. A change of 4 or more on the GAD has been found to be clinically significant across anxiety disorders. (Spitzer et al., 2006). ; 4. The PHQ‐9 is the 9‐item depression module from the full PHQ.
