a Using 180 days (since baseline BHC) as 6-month indicator

b Sample size including only patients who have at least 2 PHQ-9 scores: N = 615; PHQ-9 < 5: n = 100; PHQ-9 ≥ 5: n = 515; PHQ-9 < 10: n = 289; PHQ-9 ≥ 10: n = 326; Δ PHQ-9 ≥ 6: n = 277; Δ PHQ-9 < 6: n = 338

c Percentages displayed represent “column” percentages

d *p-value < 0.05, **p-value < 0.01; for continuous items, p-values represent two-sample t-test comparing mean scores between patients who have and have not reached “remission”; for categorical items, p-values represent chi-square tests under the null hypothesis of independence between “remission” status and the categorical variable

e Includes any endorsement except “Not at all”

f “Other/Unknown” includes: “American Indian or Alaska Native”, “Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander”, “Other”, “Unknown”

g Significance test

h “Other” includes: Life Partner, Significant Other, Unknown, Other, Missing

i Visits to BHA in the first 6 months

k Includes visits that did not indicate a provider type

l Includes: Physician, Fellow

m Includes: Therapist, Social Worker, Care Coordinator

n Clinical cutoff is ≥3 for females, ≥ 4 for males; patients were only administered the full AUDIT-C if they did not select “never” on the first item of the AUDIT-C

o Cutoff ≥3 indicates at least “moderate” symptoms; patients were only administered the DAST-10 if they screened positive on the 1-item screener

p Patients were only administered the PCL if they did not select “no” for more than one item on the PC-PTSD screen
