Numbers in parentheses indicate the minimum to a maximum range of scale scores, with bolded numbers indicating the worst score.

Values in the table represent those with complete data at baseline and 12 months. Baseline values were as follows: life satisfaction: M=6.14 (SD=2.02); purpose in life: M=22.46 (SD=4.77); social health: M=3.37 (SD=1.17); PEG: M=6.39 (SD=2.34); physical health functioning: M=37.73 (SD=7.44); mental health functioning: M=41.81 (SD=9.36); perceived stress: M=6.14 (SD=3.27).

For PROMIS scales, 50 represents the population norm with lower scores indicating worse functioning and 10 representing 1 SD.
