  • Data are presented for participants with low T0 cancer distress (n=2896/3225, 90%). Base model adjustment factors included: T0 cancer distress, trial allocation, gender, age, smoking, deprivation, education, ethnicity, marital group, time since recruitment, recruitment site and experience of lung cancer.

  • *Adjusted for T0 cancer distress, trial allocation, gender, age, smoking, deprivation, time since recruitment, recruitment site and experience of lung cancer.

  • †Data were excluded due to limited variation.
