Parameter estimates for PFR effects on monthly change. Model 1 estimated effects on change for two time periods: baseline to post-intervention and post-intervention to 6-month follow-up. Model 2 estimated effect on change from baseline to 6-month follow-up.

Model 1 used two codings of time to estimate both change from baseline to post-intervention and change from post-intervention to 6-month follow-up. Model 2 used one coding of time and estimated intervention effects on linear change across the three time points.

Equations for the Model 1:

Level-1 Model
Y=π0+π1(timebaselinetopost-interventiona)+π2(timepost-interventionto6-monthfollow-upb)+e
Level-2 Model
π0=β00+β0k(covariates)π1=B10+β11(PFR)+B1k(covariates)+r1π2=B20+β21(PFR)+B2k(covariates)+r2
a

Coded 0 for baseline and months between baseline and post-intervention for both post-intervention and 6-month follow-up; if post-intervention time point missing, coded as 2.9 for EES condition and 4.2 for PFR condition.

b

Coded 0 for baseline and post-intervention time point and months since baseline for 6-month follow-up

Equations for the equations Model 2:

Level-1 Model
Y=π0+π1(monthssincebaseline)+e
