Abbreviations: PTSD, posttraumatic stress disorder; RRFT, risk reduction through family therapy.
The models included a dummy-coded indicator for each postbaseline measurement occasion: months 3, 6, 12, and 18. These terms reflect the change for treatment as usual between baseline and each later occasion. The contrasts reflect the same information for the RRFT group, and the RRFT × month terms tested for between-group differences in change. Test statistics are not reported but were computed as β coefficient (SE) unless otherwise expressed as estimate (SE).
Indicates primary outcome.
Measured planned contrast for RRFT’s change between baseline and each later occasion.
Indicates secondary outcome.
