a

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.

b

Estimated means from the multiply imputed datasets.

c

IERITA: internet-delivered emotion regulation individual therapy for adolescents.

d

TAU: treatment as usual.

e

P values not adjusted for multiple testing.

f

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.

g

P<.001.

h

NSSI: nonsuicidal self-injury.

i

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.

j

Not applicable.

k

QALY: quality-adjusted life year.

l

P<.01.

m

P<.05.
