@scottsantens FYI, for anyone watching this with interest, this is normal. UBI works in every study conducted -- even the ones that were cancelled part of their way through the planned study period saw dramatic improvements by nearly every measure. Better mental health, less conflict with the law, more employment, lower cost of social services, etc. And those that didn't seek employment contributed back in other ways - most often providing care for children, elders, or disabled family members.
