a

High likelihood of depression was defined by a BSI-18 T score ≥65 in EPISOD and Beck Depression Inventory II >18 in EPISOD.

b

High likelihood of anxiety was defined by a HADS Anxiety score ≥11 in EPISOD and a BSI-18 Anxiety T score ≥65 in RESPOnD.

c

Low physical health was defined as a Short Form-36 Physical Component T Score ≤40 in EPISOD and a PROMIS-29 Physical Health Summary T score ≤40 in RESPOnD.

d

Low mental health was defined as a Short Form-36 Mental Component T Score ≤40 in EPISOD and a PROMIS-29 Mental Health Summary T score ≤40 in RESPOnD.
