Analysis of covariates. The dependent variable was the change in each social capital indicator. The independent variable was the allocated group (control, intervention). Covariates were sex, age, years of education, household income, marital status, living arrangement, employment status, mental health, self-rated health, and the baseline score for the outcome. Coefficients higher than 0 indicated a more significant improvement in the intervention group than the control group
