Analyses for the primary outcome were carried out on both an intention-to-treat basis, assuming that missing data were adverse outcomes, and on a completer basis. The intention-to-treat results were still significant. As the authors suggest, generalisability may be limited, as only one primary care trust was included and only one community psychiatric nurse delivered the intervention.
