Outcome Measures by Level of Deprivation

Variable	Level of Deprivation		Effect Size (Cohen’s d)	P Value
	Low Mean (SD)	High Mean (SD)
MYMOP symptom scorea
Baseline	4.58 (1.50) n = 266	4.90 (1.56) n = 310	−0.209	.01
1 Month after baseline	2.79 (1.78) n = 221	3.48 (2.01) n = 211	−0.363	<.001
Change from baseline	−1.76 (2.10) n = 200	−1.21 (2.13) n = 188	−0.260	.01
MYMOP well-being scorea
Baseline	3.29 (1.63) n = 287	3.74 (1.78) n = 340	−0.264	.005
1 Month after baseline	2.78 (1.62) n = 225	3.53 (1.91) n = 211	−0.424	<.001
Change from baseline	−0.49 (1.90) n = 217	−0.20 (2.09) n = 203	−0.145	.15

GP = general practitioner; MYMOP = Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile.

^aMYMOP scores are generated by the patient on a 7 point scale from 0 (“as good as it could be”) to 6 (“as bad as it could be”). Thus high mean scores at baseline or follow-up reflect worse symptoms and well-being. Change scores are calculated as score at 1 month minus score at baseline.

Note: P values for differences between areas of deprivation are extracted from multi-level linear regression models that include fixed effects for age and sex and a random effect for GP level.
