Results of Multi-Level Models Predicting Number of Sessions until Dropout using session 3 WAI Scores (n = 133) after using Backwards Stepwise Elimination. Blank spaces mean that the measure was not included in the final model. Predictors that are not presented here never met criteria for inclusion in the final model (p < 0.15).

Note. WAI-T = Working Alliance Index – Therapist version; WAI-P = Working Alliance Index – Patient version; b = Cox regression coefficient for prediction of number of sessions until dropout; Exp(b) = Relative risk for dropout.
