a

SAS PROC MIXED. Regression coefficients represent the difference between the intervention and control group means on each measure for a given time period relative to baseline in 2004, as tested by the intervention group*year interactions. For the average intervention effect, the three separate group*year interactions were averaged.

b

SAS PROC GLMMIX. Regression coefficients represent the difference between the intervention and control group in the log odds of event occurrence for a given time period relative to baseline in 2004, as tested by the intervention group*year interactions. For the average effect, the three separate group*year interactions were averaged.

c

SAS PROC NLMIXED. Regression coefficients reflect the difference between the intervention and control group in the cumulative (ordinal) logit associated with classification in a higher stage or quartile compared to the lowest for a given time period relative to baseline in 2004, as tested by the group*year interactions. For the average effect, the three separate group*year interactions were averaged.
