List of All Flies in the Current Folder:

1. PMPlus_Data.dta
This stata data file includes 1212 rows and 59 columns for the 611 participants in the trial who were present at baseline (i.e. 306 in enhanced usual care and 305 in PM+). Importantly, to facilitate replication of the analysis of score outcome data with adjustment for baseline measures of the score outcomes (i.e. a so-called ANCOVA-type approach), we do not provide a row for baseline measurements of outcomes but instead include them as covariates e.g. see the variable named BL_GHQ_total which is provided as a covariate at each of the two follow-up time points (i.e. midline and endline).
 
Note that for the 611 unique id, there is the following:
--- 2 rows for each of the 601 participants who have both midline and endline data
--- 1 row each for the 3 participants who have only midline data
--- 1 row each for the 1 participants who have only endline data 
--- 1 row each for the 6 participants who have no outcome data, where we note that each of these rows is provided so that Table 1 of baseline data in the manuscript can be replicated

2. PMPlus_Codebook.xlsx
This excel spreadsheet includes the name, label (including scale for continuous variables), and responses (for binary and categorical variables) of each of 59 variables contained in the above stata data file.


Notes:

1. Variables collected for the study but not used in the main manuscript tables and variables containing sensitive information are excluded from this deposit.

2. Certain categories of the following categorical variables are collapsed, due to small observations of some original categories:
BL_education, BL_occupation, BL_caste_cat, BL_religion, BL_marital_status, BL_lang_used, BL_house_size_cat, BL_live_with, BL_te_1_nd_when, medication, counselling.

3. The originally continuous variable "BL_age" with sensitive information are transformed into the categorical variable "BL_age_cat."

4. The prefix "BL" in variable names means the measurement at "baseline."
