REGRESSION
Summary measures of outcomes and sociodemographic variables were computed and compared between treatment and control groups. No formal statistical assessment of balance on baseline variables was conducted [All analyses were intention-to-treat, and included all participants who were randomised, regardless of intervention received or non-participation in follow-up [﻿There are differing views on the appropriateness of adjusting for multiple outcomes such as with the Bonferroni correction, with some arguing for and others against their use [We assessed loss to follow-up by separately assessing the association between baseline outcomes and loss to follow-up. We also conducted a multivariate regression analysis assessing risk of loss to follow-up, including significant predictors of missing as covariates. These variables were help-seeking intentions for suicidal thoughts from formal health and MATES worker, and help-seeking intention for emotional problems from formal sources of help. Lastly, we restricted the analysis to participants who returned a follow-up questionnaire.
