Comparison of distress scores preintervention and postintervention

	Active caregivers (n = 65)		Patients (n = 50)
	Preintervention^a	Postintervention	Preintervention^a	Postintervention
Mean (±SD)	7.4 (±6.7)	5.0 (±5.2)	8.5 (±8.2)	5.8 (±5.8)
Mean difference (SE)	2.4 (0.76)		2.7 (1.1)
t-score	3.14		2.49
p-value	0.003		0.016
Cohen’s d	0.40		0.38

SD: standard deviation; SE: standard error; BSI-18: Brief Symptom Inventory–18.

The number of sessions attended was not related to the preintervention and postintervention BSI-18 scores (r = −0.01, p = 0.95; r = −0.10, p = 0.49, respectively).
