  1. Goal setting and recipes & resources sections were not counted in “number of topics in library” because all participants got these sections. These sections did not have tailored content. The psychosocial section was not included in the count because this is part 2 of what was received in previous packets. There are also 4 cognitive restructuring topics in the library based on the participant’s success with goal setting. If the participant achieved their goal, information on continuing their success was mailed. If the participant was unsuccessful in achieving their goal, information was provided as to how to keep trying. Total topics in library = 56. Items in BOLD are re-tailored
