  1. aAll univariate analyses were adjusted for treatment groups (adapted HF vs. usual care). Reference categories for categorical variables were as follows (indicated by 0): treatment group (usual care = 0, adapted HF = 1); gender (female/other = 0, male = 1); education (less than high school = 0; completed high school/some college/university = 1); immigrant status (Canadian born = 0; foreign born = 1); English as first language (other languages = 0; English = 1); MINI diagnoses (absence of diagnosis = 0; presence of diagnosis = 1)
