ANOVA: analysis of variance; CGIC: Clinician Global Impression of Change; LS: least-squares; PGIC: Patient Global Impression of Change; SAT: Self-Assessment of Treatment; SE: standard error.

1Known-groups validity was assessed using ANOVA to evaluate whether SAT items and subscale scores discriminated between patient groups based on different amounts of patient- and clinician-reported change at Week 12. Pooled dataset included data from two clinical trials, Studies C116 (N = 349) and C117 (N = 349).

2PGIC and CGIC responses of “Very much worse” and “Much worse” were combined due to small sample sizes.

3Study C117 only.
