Distribution of Post-treatment Symptom Severity, Reliability of Change, and Remission

Outcome	All Patients
	CBT (n=45)	UC (n=36)	UC+CBT (n=25)
Post-treatment BDI < 10, No. (%)	30 (66.7%)	7 (19.4%)^b	11 (44%)^d
Post-treatment remission by SCID, No. (%)	29 (64.4%)	9 (25%)^b	14 (56%)
	Pre-treatment BDI ≥ 10^a
Outcome	CBT (n=40)	UC (n=28)	UC+CBT (n=20)
Post-treatment BDI < 10: Unreliable change, No. (%)	1 (2.5%)	0	1 (5.0%)
Post-treatment BDI < 10: Reliable change, No. (%)	24 (60%)	3 (10.7%)^b	5 (25%)^c
Post-treatment remission by SCID, No. (%)	27 (67.5%)	4 (14.3%)^b	10 (50%)

Using methods of Jacobson and Truax

CBT vs. UC comparison, Fisher’s exact test p<.001

CBT vs. UC+CBT comparison, Fisher’s exact test p=.01

CBT vs. UC+CBT comparison, Fisher’s exact test p=.08

Abbreviations: BDI = Beck Depression Inventory; CBT = Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; UC = Usual Care; SCID = Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual; UC+CBT = Completed CBT after usual care
