Table 3.
Three separate growth curve models showing the effects of the 8-week psychosocial intervention on C-reactive protein, Epstein-Barr virus antibodies, and hair cortisol concentration in Syrian refugee and Jordanian host-community adolescents (n = 817).
| B | SE | p | 95% CI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outcome variables | ||||
| C-reactive protein (CRP) | −0.01 | 0.03 | 0.869 | −0.06, 0.05 |
| Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) | 0.01 | 0.02 | 0.475 | −0.02, 0.04 |
| Hair cortisol concentration (HCC) | −0.10 | 0.04 | 0.005 | −0.17, −0.03 |
Note: CRP is measured in log mg/L, EBV in log U/ml, and HCC in log pg/mg. The intervention had no detectable impact on CRP or EBV. By contrast, HCC went up at a slower rate among adolescents engaged in the intervention, relative to adolescents in the control group of the randomized controlled trial.
