  1. * Only the students who nominated at least four illnesses or injuries at each time point were included in this analysis. These were the most common illnesses or injuries nominated by students as a main cause of death or disability at baseline.
  2. a P < 0.05 compared with baseline
  3. b P < 0.001 compared with baseline
  4. c P = 0.001 compared with baseline
  5. d P < 0.005 compared with baseline
  6. e P = 0.051, the pairwise comparison between baseline and FU3 for the DT group indicated a trend towards a difference in proportion of depression nomination.
