Changes in Control-Intervention Differences From Baseline to 3- and 12-Month Follow-Up, the Living Healthy Trial

Panel A. Pain Self-Efficacy Score (Range 10–100)

LS-mean (95% CI) LS-mean (95% CI) C-I mean difference in change P value for difference
Model 1 0.0 (−3.7 to 4.2) −11.7 (−14.5 to −8.8) 11.9 < .001
Model 2 1.8 (−2.5 to 6.2) −10.7 (−14.7 to −6.7) 12.6 < .001

Abbreviations: C-I, control-intervention difference or difference between intervention arm and GHE arm; GHE, general health education; LS-mean, least square mean.

Model 1 adjusted for baseline score and clustering.

Model 2 adjusts for age, sex, body mass index, current smoking, high-fat food intake, pain coping score, depressive symptoms, all of which demonstrated trends toward imbalance across treatment arms at baseline (Table 1).

175 participants were available at 12-month follow-up.
