Note. The N for each column refers to the number of participants classified into each latent class; pr(1) is the probability of a poor outcome (e.g., not being employed; pr(2) probability of a good outcome (e.g., being employed). The N for each row refers to the number of participants who met criteria for a “good outcome” (i.e., score of 1) for each marker of normative outcomes and objective QoL.
