Note. The sample sizes varied in the calculation of correlation coefficients involving competence ratings because competence is not rated if items comprising competence scores did not occur. The sample sizes for the correlation calculations ranged from a minimum of 162 for rdays in treatment (4-week post-treatment): advanced MI competence in the TAU condition only to a maximum of 425 for rdays in treatment (12-week follow-up)∷fundamental MI competence in the overall sample.
