Transitional class proportions from time 1 to time 2 based on the estimated longitudinal latent transition analysis (LTA)*
| LTA class | Time 1 | Time 2 | N (n=1022) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Class 1 (psychological distress) | Class 3 (low symptom) | 213 |
| 2 | Class 1 (psychological distress) | Class 1 (psychological distress) | 43 |
| 3 | Class 1 (psychological distress) | Class 2 (comorbid) | 22 |
| 4 | Class 2 (comorbid) | Class 3 (low symptom) | 0 |
| 5 | Class 2 (comorbid) | Class 1 (psychological distress) | 0 |
| 6 | Class 2 (comorbid) | Class 2 (comorbid) | 9 |
| 7 | Class 3 (low symptom) | Class 3 (low symptom) | 355 |
| 8 | Class 3 (low symptom) | Class 1 (psychological distress) | 0 |
| 9 | Class 3 (low symptom) | Class 2 (comorbid) | 380 |
*Four rational trajectories were derived from the longitudinal transition classes. Recovery trajectory comprised classes 1 and 4 (n=213); persisting trajectory comprised classes 2, 3, 5, 6 (n=74); incident trajectory comprised classes 8, 9 (n=380); low-symptom trajectory comprised class 7 (n=355).
