MH, mental health.
a
Estimated using linear mixed-effects regression with a fixed intercept and random intercepts for the unit of clustering, with estimation by restricted maximum likelihood estimation to account for the small number of clusters.
b
Unit of clustering is ward at baseline, of which there are 17.
c
Unit of clustering is PM+ group, of which there are 10.
d
Not estimable.
