Notes: The sample size is 101 (Treatment = 46, Control = 55), except when we restrict the analysis to time spend without the PFL child as 5 control participants did not record any episodes without their PFL child, therefore n = 96 (Treatment = 46, Control = 50), and apart from Mood Yesterday (Treatment = 45, Control = 55). ‘M’ indicates the unconditional mean. ‘SD’ indicates the unconditional standard deviation.
