a
Estimated mean if groups were balanced on avoidant personality disorder and last visit time (hence the week 20 mean estimates will differ somewhat from those presented in Table 3). All subjects with follow-up assessment (N=50 for STEPPS plus treatment as usual, N=32 for treatment as usual alone) contributed to the estimation of week 20 and week 72 means.
b
From the Borderline Evaluation of Severity Over Time scale.
c
To facilitate the reporting of significant digits, we scaled this measure by multiplying item means by 10.
