F for change in R2	45.107***				21.855***				15.334***

Mean scores were used for outcomes, background variables and numeric predictors, while dummy variables were used for Missing friends and Worry about virus infection with “Not True” as the reference category (coded 0). Boys were the reference group (coded 0) for gender

All regression coefficients are from the second step in the analyses and F change statistics are calculated using multivariate Wald statistic from the mice package
