Note: An asterisk indicates that the mean on a scale in traditional settings is significantly different from the mean in small-scale settings in the same country: *** p <.001, **
p < .01, † p < .10.
A higher score indicates a better ability to perform activities of daily living, more behavioural problems, higher depression, a higher number of absolute restraints and prescribed
medications, more social engagement (rate 0-8 activities in the past two weeks) and fewer visits (1 = almost every day, 2 = once or twice a week, 3 = once every
two weeks, 4 = once a month or 5 = less than once a month). |
