2017 FIRST Trial = Weisz, Bearman et al. (2017); TPOCS-A = Therapy Process Observational Coding System-Alliance Scale; P = Parent/Caregiver, Y = Youth, BPC = Brief Problems Checklist, TPA = Top Problems Assessment, CBCL = Child Behavior Checklist, YSR = Youth Self Report.

a

Slopes from multilevel models (change per log day) for BPC and TPA and estimated pre-post change for CBCL and YSR.

b

TPA was rated on a 0–2 scale instead of the 1–10 used in Weisz, Bearman et al. (2017).
