Mixed effect clustered models with multiple chained imputations. All the models were adjusted by age, gender, marital status, education, employment status, type of floor at home, type of health coverage, baseline TMHS, traumatic experiences, baseline assessment of sadness, baseline assessment of suffering, and time on study. LPCW and participant were used cluster variables.

Additional adjusting variables include:

a) displaced condition, past psychological support, functionality at baseline;

b) number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money;

c) displaced condition, past psychological support, number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money, baseline functionality;

d) number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money;

e) displaced condition, past psychological support, number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money, past psychological support, baseline functionality;

f) displaced condition, number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money;

g) displaced condition, past psychological support, number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money, past psychological support, baseline functionality;

h) number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money;

i) number of people cohabitating, and number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money;

j) number of people from which you can borrow a small amount of money.

95% CI: 95% confidence interval. BL: Baseline symptom score, mean. FU: Follow-up symptom score, mean. FU—BL: Difference from baseline to follow-up, mean. Diff: Difference in adjusted mean score change, mean. The between group effect size was measured with Cohen´s d ([mean of group 1—mean of group 2] /pooled standard deviations for the two groups) Effect size interpretation: 0.20–0.49: Small effect; 0.50–0.79: Moderate effect; ≥0.80: large effect.
