*

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

Confidence interval.

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

PHQ-2 indicates Patient Health Questionnaire-2.
