Note.
Whether in the screening survey (T0) the participant reported suffering from the problem for which the given specific module is meant, meaning that the participant suffered predominately from depressive or anxiety symptoms (modules: problem-solving or exposure, respectively), that they scored 8 or higher on AUDIT (matched module: alcohol consumption as emotion regulator) or ISI (matched module: sleep hygiene), or they reported suffering from worrying, perfectionism or low self-esteem (matched modules: worries, perfectionism, self-worth, respectively).
Comparison whether participants who reported the problem addressed by the given module were more likely to complete the given module than participants who did not report the problem.
Percentage calculated from the total number of participants (100 %) who reported the problem.
Fisher's test calculated instead of χ2-test (expected counts were <5 for >20 % of cells).
Since participants who did not complete the problem-solving module completed all the exposure module, additional statistical test is redundant.
Missing data – as the module is general, there was no specific measure to assess whether the participant suffered from the problem which the modules were addressing.
