Abbreviations:S-ENG, The Social Engage psychotherapy intervention; CAU, care as usual; SE, standard error; INQ, Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire; QIDS, Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms; GSIS, Geriatric Suicide Ideation Scale—Screening Form; WHOQOL (World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale).
Notes:All significance tests are two-sided. Models are mixed effects maximum likelihood regressions, with random intercepts at the subject level and fixed effects for time, condition, and condition by time interaction (depicted above). Models with sex and age were run and results were unchanged, thus, more parsimonious models without those covariates are presented.
Mean differences are represented by ENG=1, CAU=0, such that negative means indicate lower scores for ENG.
Significant effect of time, with scores decreasing for both groups.
WHOQOL was only administered at baseline and 10-week follow-up.
