TL;DR
The authors conclude that bias due to selective attrition was limited to sociodemographics and experience with the baseline interview, and any 12-month mental disorder, the categories and separate mental disorders, and their clinical characteristics, were not significantly associated with attrition, after controlling for socodemographics.
Abstract
The authors conclude that bias due to selective attrition was limited to sociodemographics and experience with the baseline interview. Mental health status at baseline was not of influence, possibly due to the large time investment to persuade respondents to re-participate and to find them in case of noncontact or removal to an unknown address. During follow-up waves of future prospective studies it is important to implement an intensive recruitment period with special efforts among young adults and the lower educated.
