Credibility was assessed at the second week and the seventh week intervention sessions. The response options ranged from 0 = not at all to 9 = very. Logical: How logical does this type of treatment seem to you? Confident: How confident are you that this treatment would be successful in helping you prevent diabetes? Recommend: How confident would you be in recommending this treatment to a friend who wanted to prevent diabetes? Important: How important do you think it is that we make this treatment available to others who want to prevent diabetes? Successful: How successful do you believe this treatment would be in decreasing other problems involving tension, anxiety, insomnia, etc.?
