  1. I intervention group, C control group
  2. Time: the ß-value for ‘time’ is the estimate for the time effect, and can be interpreted as the magnitude of change in the outcome variable going from follow-up to baseline for the reference group (i.e., control group)
  3. Time*Condition: the ß-value for ‘time*condition’ is the estimate for the intervention effect for all outcome variables, which describes the difference between the mean change in the intervention group and the mean change in the control group
