  1. ΔC: difference in costs between Ladnaan and waitlist control; ΔE1: difference in effects between Ladnaan and waitlist control for QALY at post-test; ΔE2: difference in effects between Ladnaan and waitlist control for CBCL at post-test; ΔNB: difference in net benefit between Ladnaan and waitlist control; Basecost: baseline value of costs; BaseEQ5D: baseline value on the EQ5D scale; BaseCBCL: baseline value on the total CBCL scale; CBCL: Child behaviour Checklist; EQ5D: Euroqol’s five dimension three levels; WTP: Willingness-to-pay
  2. Primary outcome—unit change in total CBCL score for children and QALY gains for parents
  3. Confounders: child and parent age and gender, and parents occupation at baseline
