Data are presented as least square mean values and 95% confidence intervals for each assessment point. Group differences with 95% confidence intervals are also presented

*

Effect sizes were calculated as follows: change from baseline in behavior therapy minus change in the control group divided by the pooled standard deviation for the entire study sample at baseline.
