Reliable change index at postassessment and 3-month follow-up for the HSCL-25 (completers only)
| RCI | 1-week postassessment | 3-month follow-up | ||
| PM+/CAU (n=85) |
CAU (n=93) |
PM+/CAU (n=84) |
CAU (n=92) |

| Recovered, n (%)* | 0 | 1 (1.1) | 2 (2.4) | 0 |
| Improved without recovery, n (%)† | 35 (41.2) | 15 (16.1) | 32 (38.1) | 22 (23.9) |
| Deteriorated, n (%)† | 4 (4.7) | 9 (9.7) | 2 (2.4) | 5 (5.4) |
| No change, n (%) | 46 (54.1) | 68 (73.1) | 48 (57.1) | 65 (70.7) |
Recovered=clinical significant reliable change; improved without recovery=no clinical significant reliable change; deteriorated=reliable change with worsening of symptoms; no change=no reliable change.
*The Clinical Significant Change cut-off for the HSCL-25 (total scale) was calculated by subtracting 2 SD of the baseline mean for the full sample.
†The RCI for the HSCL-25 (total score) was calculated using the baseline SD for the full sample and baseline Cronbach’s α as test–retest reliability coefficient27.
