Recorded summary

Primary social functioning null: difference −0.29 (95% CI −4.20 to 3.63). Employment/education secondary odds favoured Horyzons (OR 5.55, wide CI 1.09–28.23); emergency visits lower; hospitalisation difference not significant.

Recorded limitations

Primary social-function outcome null; secondary vocational result imprecise. Dose associations are not randomised effects; specialist remission sample may have ceiling effects.

Evidence and provenance

    finding
    Primary social functioning null: difference −0.29 (95% CI −4.20 to 3.63). Employment/education secondary odds favoured Horyzons (OR 5.55, wide CI 1.09–28.23); emergency visits lower; hospitalisation difference not significant.
    summary
    Primary social functioning null: difference −0.29 (95% CI −4.20 to 3.63). Employment/education secondary odds favoured Horyzons (OR 5.55, wide CI 1.09–28.23); emergency visits lower; hospitalisation difference not significant.
    limitation
    Primary social-function outcome null; secondary vocational result imprecise. Dose associations are not randomised effects; specialist remission sample may have ceiling effects.
