  1. az-score = (raw score – mean)/sd for variable in question. Hazard Ratio: difference in rate of dropout from study given 1-unit change in covariate (when noteworthy 95% CI excludes 1). Coefficients for each of the 11 time periods (weeks 1–11) are not included in this table (see eTable 3 Supplementary Materials)
  2. bOdds Ratio: difference in the odds or attending an extra counselling session, given a 1-unit change in the covariate (when noteworthy, 95% CI excludes 1)
