  • a Estimated using linear mixed-effects regression with random intercepts for individuals and adjusted for baseline outcome measure, general practice, time, and prognostic group (for all participants only); mean outcome is constrained to be equal at baseline. AQoL-8D = Assessment of Quality of Life Instrument. GAD-7 = 7-item Generalised Anxiety Disorder scale. MHSES = Mental Health Self-Efficacy Scale.
