In the Results section of the Abstract, the third sentence is incorrect. The correct sentence is: The mean GSI improved from 1.6 (SD 0.84) at intake to 1.2 (SD 0.82) at follow-up (p<0.001).
In the Mental disorders at admission and at follow-up section of the Results, the second sentence is incorrect. The correct sentence is: Out of 47 (64%) individuals with major depression at baseline, 19 (26%) still met the diagnostic criteria at follow-up, and 28 (38%) had been remitted at follow-up and there were four new cases.
In the Mental disorders at admission and at follow-up section of the Results, the fourth sentence is incorrect. The correct sentence is: The prevalence of current psychotic disorders decreased from 22 (30%) at baseline to 10 (14%) at follow-up (p = 0.008).
