  1. SD represents standard deviation.
  2. GCM represents the Generalist Care Manager arm of the study.
  3. UC represents the Usual Care arm of the study.
  4. PHQ-9 represents the Patient health questionnaire-9 measure for depression (range of 0–27).
  5. HAM-D represents the Hamilton Depression Index score. For PHQ-9 (10 and above for moderate depression) and HAM-D (14 and above for moderate depression), higher scores indicate more depression.
  6. MCS-12 represents the Mental component summary of the Short Form 12 functional status instrument.
  7. PCS-12 represents the Physical component summary of the Short Form-12 functional status instrument. For MCS-12 and PCS-12 higher scores indicate better mental and physical health. All scores above or below 50 can be interpreted as above or below the general population norm. The standard deviations for each scale are equalized at 10.
