^a45 participants were re-interviewed post-transition, but SRQ data (GHQ, PBS, WEMWBS) and case notes of diagnostic status were gathered for 46. Case notes also provided GE status information for a further 4 participants not available for post-transition interview.
^bAll analyses presented here were adjusted for with covariates of gender, recruitment source and IQ. Unadjusted analyses showed no difference in significant results; findings were the same without covariates.
