¹The dependent variable was the calculated change from baseline to 6-months for each of the six outcome domains. Values are pooled from 20 multiply imputed datasets.
²Final sample size for the regression analyses was (N = 297) due to some missing data for non-imputed variables, including Gender (N = 2) and Years of School (N = 1).
³The categorical variables were as coded as follows: Gender (1 = Female, 0 = Male); Ethnicity (1 = ethno-racial ethnicity, 0 = white ethnicity); Psychotic Disorder (1 = Diagnosis present; 0 = Diagnosis absent); Alcohol or Substance Dependence or Abuse (1 = Diagnosis present; 0 = Diagnosis absent), Level of Support Service, after randomization (1 = Assertive Community Treatment, ACT; 0 = Intensive Case Management, ICM). Zero (0) was the reference category for all categorical variables.
