Plus–minus values are means ±SE. Scores were adjusted for age, sex, years of education, and baseline score if it was available (there was no baseline score for the measure of test-related distress). Missing values were calculated with the Markov chain Monte Carlo method of multiple imputation.

Scores on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) range from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety.

Scores on the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating greater depression.

Scores on the Impact of Event Scale (IES) range from 0 to 75, with higher scores indicating greater distress.
