Costs and QALYs are accumulated from baseline until follow-up, NSSI frequency shows estimated values from baseline to follow-up and NSSI remission shows between-group differences at follow-up.
Estimated means from the multiply imputed datasets.
IERITA: internet-delivered emotion regulation individual therapy for adolescents.
TAU: treatment as usual.
P values not adjusted for multiple testing.
Adjusted mean differences from 5000 bootstrap samples while controlling for baseline costs in the same category (costs) or baseline CHU9D utilities. No adjustment for NSSI remission differences.
P<.001.
NSSI: nonsuicidal self-injury.
Incidence rate ratio=0.92 (95% CI 0.88-0.91); P<.001. Values indicate the estimated reduction in NSSI frequency of IERITA plus TAU compared to TAU only.
Not applicable.
QALY: quality-adjusted life year.
P<.01.
P<.05.
