Notes:

** significant at p-value<0.001; * significant at p-value <0.05.

Ŧ Baseline and six month data is sourced from the GHS coaching sample and the twelve month data is sourced from independent evaluation coaching cohort data.

£ Includes data imputed from last observed record (baseline, 3-months or 6-months) where data was missing.

† Paired analysis; ¥ Matched pairs t-test; # non parametric (wilcoxon test).

β Health enhancing Physical Activity (PA) sessions – based on the number of sessions per week for walking and moderate physical activity that were ≥30minutes and for vigorous physical activity that were ≥ 20minutes.

€ Adjusted for baseline values and age, gender, education level, employment status, Socio Economic Index For Areas, and Region; presents marginal means (or mean differences) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) from linear mixed models that control for repeated measures and adjust for potential confounders, with the outcome time points of 6-months and 12-months.
