Examining differences between the Intervention Group and the Control Group in regard to treatment response – Completers analyses.

Completers = Having received at least 5 sessions and met for at least one follow-up session.

6 months = The change of the Control group between baseline and 6 months. 12 months = The change of the Control group between baseline and 12 months. IG*6 m = The additional change of the Intervention group between baseline and 6 months compared to the Control Group. IG*12 m = The additional change of the Intervention group between baseline and 12 months compared to the Control Group. AUDIT = The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test, DUDIT = The Drug Use Disorder Identification Test, SCL-90-Anxiety = The Symptom Check List 90 anxiety sum score, SCL-90-Depression = The Symptom Check List 90 depression sum score, SCL-90-GSI = The Symptom Check List 90 Global Severity Index sum score, ASI-Alcohol = The European Addiction Severity Index, number of days using alcohol on a regular basis during the last 30 days, ASI-Illegal substances = The European Addiction Severity Index, number of days using any illegal substances during the last 30 days, SATS-R = The Substance Abuse Treatment Scale, revised.

Statistical significant values are written in bold types, a 5% alfa-level is used.

A linear multilevel model is used. The different response variables are modelled as a function of group and time. The clustering in the data is accounted for by a random intercept at patient level and at centre level. The primary target of analysis was the interaction between group and time. The analyses where adjusted for by the following covariates: Age, Gender, Being in a relationship, Having his/her own apartment, Having paid work and Having compulsory school only or senior high school. During the adjusted analyses a non-restricted Log likelihood was used. In the final models, the restricted Log Likelihood was used.
