*The community-averaged psychosocial scores based on nine-item Likert scale. A higher score corresponds to a greater degree of psychosocial distress. Mean score was calculated for all completed items for each respondent (after reverse-coding items 2, 4 and 8). Mean items answered, including participants with 0 item responses was 8.3 (SD=1.7, range 0–9). Mean items answered, excluding participants with 0 item responses was 8.6 (SD=0.9, range 3–9).
†p Value from permutation test.
‡The mean difference between community-averaged psychosocial scores within each arm; CI was calculated by the bootstrap method.36
§ICC was calculated to be 0.006 for baseline and 0.059 for follow-up 1.
¶Mean scores (SD) calculated for all participants within each arm, for all communities, based on screening response.
**p Value from Welch's t-test.
