Note: Effects significant at p<.05 are bolded. PACT=toolkit condition; SC= toolkit + standard care condition; ACEs=Therapist Alliance, Collaboration, and Empowerment Strategies Observational Coding System; A=Alliance strategies; C=Collaboration strategies; E=Empowerment strategy.

These analyses include only those cases where the therapist had a case for intervention (see Figure 1a) and recordings of any of the first four therapy sessions after study consent were submitted (no cases are missing for PACT therapists and two cases are missing for SC therapists); one PACT therapist had two cases and the results (not presented here) were not different when the second case was excluded.
