* Coefficient for main effect of the intervention, from linear regression model with the outcome measure at month 6 as the dependent variable, and independent variables being the baseline measure of the outcome, treatment condition (intervention or control), and background characteristic covariates (age, secondary education, whether index had a main sex partner, HIV status)
