  • Notes: This table presents results of average treatment effects (ATEs) for adolescents based on groups defined by adolescents with high and low conditional average treatment effects (CATEs, estimated using grf model in R) for individuals in the three study settings. Above- (below-) median groups represent adolescents whose CATEs are greater than (less than) the median estimated CATEs. Standard errors are in parentheses. Each panel of the table shows the treatment effects for each CATE subgroup derived from country-specific treatment arms and the respective set of outcomes. Significance: *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.

  • a For PHQ Depression Score and Indicator for Moderate/Severe Depression, the “above-median CATE” indicates a more negative impact on the measure.
