Details

A psychologist was interested in the effects of exercise on emotional well-being. The researcher tracked emotional well-being over 12 months using the The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Half of the sample were randomised to an exercise programme involving 3 exercise classes per week. The remaining participants were on a wait list to receive the same programme. The data contains measures from 141 participants measured at four timepoints (baseline and 1, 6, and 12 month follow-up).

• id: The participant's id

• intervention: a factor that codes to which arm of the trial the participant was randomized (wait list or exercise).

• time: a categorical variable indicating at which phase of the trial emotional well-being was measured (Baseline, 1 month, 6 months or 12 months).

• time_num: a numerical variable indicating how many months since the intervention emotional well-being was measured.

• wemwbs: The participant's score on the The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Scores can range from 14 to 70 and a higher value equates to better emotional well-being.
