aEstimated means (except for BAI) are adjusted for the covariates baseline BAI score and age.

bB: between-group effect size; Wi: within-group effect size for the intervention group; Wdt=within-group effect size for the delayed-treatment group.

cEstimated mean after completing treatment=12.43, observed mean after completing treatment=11.34.
