*

Based on a partially nested heteroscedastic model adjusted for baseline overall health and stratification variables (age, level of hospital, and level of mental health disorder). The therapist effect was included as a random effect to account for partial clustering.

Odds ratio; mixed effect ordered logistic regression model. A score ≥11 for PTSD-IES-6, HADS anxiety, or HADS depression was the threshold for case level mental health disorder—these categorical data have not been statistically analysed.
