M pre, group mean at baseline; M post, group mean at end of treatment; M F/U, group mean at 2-month follow-up assessment. Because between-group comparisons include only those subjects available for follow-up analyses, n = 37 for M pre and M post; n = 25 for M F/U. d, p correspond to effect size for comparison to baseline score (M pre).
