GAD7 Anxiety Scores for Healthcare Workers in a Yoga and Gita Trial

68 healthcare workers' Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD7) scale scores from a randomized controlled trial evaluating Yoga, Bhagavad Gita learning, and a combined intervention. The data includes scores at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 45 days post-intervention for four groups of 17 participants each. The dataset was authored by Nishant Das and uploaded to figshare.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of different mental health interventions based on GAD7 score changes over time.
• Analyze the durability of intervention effects based on the 45-day follow-up measurement.
• Investigate subgroup effects, such as benefits among women or those who continued practice, as suggested in the exploratory analyses.
• Model psychological distress reduction in healthcare worker populations using randomized group data.

Strengths

• Data comes from a prospectively registered randomized controlled trial (CTRI/2021/10/037365), suggesting a structured methodology.
• The trial had no losses to follow-up among the 68 enrolled participants, indicating complete data collection.
• Results include specific p-values for intervention effects (e.g., p=0.009 for Yoga+Gita immediately) and percentages for clinically meaningful reductions (e.g., 47.1% for Gita at 45 days).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope and sample size.
