a

Separate regressions were run for each factor and subjects reporting mental distress at baseline were excluded. Age, sex, skill level, and mental distress at T1 as a continuous variable were included in all regressions.

b

Response categories were yes/no.

**p<.01.

***p<.0005, which was the bonferroni-adjusted threshold of statistical significance.
