Demographic variables collected at intake included gender, age (50+, <50), marital status (married/living as married, other), education level (at least some college or more, no college), ethnicity (White, African American, Hispanic/Latino, other), annual income (<$40,000, at least $40,000) and employment status (employed, unemployed/suspended). Health status at baseline was recoded from a Likert scale to a dichotomous variable where 0 was good/very good/excellent health, 1 fair/poor health.
