*Adjusted for baseline value using analysis of covariance; negative continuous values indicate a lower mean outcome value for counselling group.

†Continuous measures stated in regression coefficients, dichotomous measures in odds ratios.

‡Odds of outcome in intervention relative to odds in control group with adjustment for baseline value of outcome variable.

§Adjusted for respondents' sex (male); having lived with person who died; closeness of relationship (a priori).

¶Assessed of 67 in intervention group and 53 in control group.
