Notes. For data collection mode, 0 = mailed questionnaires (Q) and 1 = questionnaires collected in-person (IPTQ). Gender is effect coded (−1 = male, 1 = female). Time refers to the number of years since the baseline assessment. COV refers to the covariance parameter between the specified random effects.
