Note. CI = confidence interval. For all chi-square analyses, df = 1. CAM = complementary and alternative medicine. Participants were classified as using mental health services or CAM if they reported current use at baseline or use over the 3-month study period. Analyses of interest in support services (i.e., interest in professional help with practical needs, talking to a staff member, support group, and CAM) only included data from individuals who did not receive the service at baseline. For mental health service use, n = 72; for CAM use, n = 71; for interest in talking to a staff member, n = 72; for interest in attending a support group, n = 70; for interest in CAM, n = 62; for interest in professional help with practical needs, ns = 76–79.
