Statistical analysis

Analyses were done in SPSS 16. Relative response rates were calculated with Poisson regression analysis using robust SEs. Where unstratified analyses for the entire sample are presented, we used appropriate survey commands (svy) to account for sampling fractions. Any significant differences between the proportions were identified using Pearson's ?2 square statistic with the Rao and Scott second order correction, which generates an F value. The sociodemographic characteristics of the sample were compared with those of the Era sample. We then described the prevalence of categorical outcomes (having a case of common mental disorder on the GHQ-12, the PCL-C, the fatigue scale, rating oneself's general health as fair or poor, and falling in the most symptomatic decile on physical symptoms). Odds ratios (OR) with 95% CI were calculated to express associations between cohorts on outcomes, and we controlled for potential confounders by logistic regression analysis (Wessely 2003).
