Participants received twice-weekly urine tests with a threshold of 30 Nanograms per milliliter to ensure adherence to avoidance from using. Data were analyzed by one-way ANCOVA (analysis of covariance). Also, qualitative data derived from demographic evaluations were coded and analyzed using Atlas.ti-5.2 data analysis tools.
