One participant was missing a depression score and a second participant was missing a perceived stress score at 3 months, which resulted in n = 30 each for depression and perceived stress in the control group at 3 months. One participant in the MBSR group was missing a depression score at 6 months, resulting in n = 36 for depression in the MBSR group at the 6-month follow-up measurement point.
