| No | 1.00 | 1.0 |
| Yes | 6.98 (3.41 to 14.27) | 8.48 (2.01 to 35.72) |
| GHQ-12 score | 1.37 (1.25 to 1.49) | 1.34 (1.17 to 1.54) |
| Number of patient-reported problems | ||
| Single | 1.00 | 1.0 |
| Multiple | 1.60 (0.90 to 2.84) | 1.76 (0.48 to 6.40) |
| Emotional attribution (main problem) | ||

a
Sample restricted to those patients whose GHQ-12 score identified them as having psychological distress.
b
Odds ratio adjusted for other factors in the model. GHQ-12 = 12-item General Health Questionnaire. GPAQ = General Practice Assessment Questionnaire.
