The PAVE Project Report
Advice and Information
Advice and information were offered by most of the groups. At baseline assessment,
67% of participants (n=50) had availed of advice and information services, at A2,
52% of participants (n=13) availed of this service, while at A3, 50% of the
participants (n=10) availed of it, and only 1 person availed of advice and information
services at A4.
Figures 138-140 show GHQ-30, BDI-II, and PDS mean scores for participants who
used advice and information services during the 3-4 months prior to each assessment
and for those who did not use this service. There were statistically significant
improvements with regard to depression between A1 and A2 for those who availed of
advice and information services. However, there also were statistically significant
improvements with regard to PTSD symptom severity between A1 and A3 for those
who did not avail of advice and information services (paired-samples t-test). Four bars
at each assessment point represent data as previously in Figure 77.
