Note: BL, baseline; FU, follow-up; SIPS symptom totals, Structured Interview for Prodromal Symptoms total symptom severity; GF: Social, Global Social Functioning Scale; GF: Role, Global Role Functioning Scale; Wechsler subtests (Vocabulary, Block Design, Digit Symbol/Coding) are (age corrected) scaled scores (ScS); TMT-B, Trail Making Test “B” in seconds (reverse scored so that higher scores indicate better performance); CPT-IP Digits d’ is the Continuous Performance Test-Identical Pairs (digits) signal detection measure of discriminability; COWA (Controlled Oral Word Association test) is a raw score (total words generated); WCST persev. errors is a raw score on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test perseverative errors (reverse scored so that higher scores indicate better performance); Verbal Memory is a composite of (1) List Learning: Percentage correct across trials on Hopkins Verbal Learning Test, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, or California Verbal Learning Test (adult and child versions) and standardized against a normal control group and (2) Story Recall: percentage of units recalled on immediate recall condition for Children’s Memory Stories, Wechsler Memory Scale–Revised, and Wechsler Memory Scale-Third revision - Logical Memory I and standardized against a normal control group; composite score is the mean standardized score of the 8 measures standardized against a normal control group; proportion of missing data by test is: WCST perseverative errors (30.8% missing), CPT-IP Digits d’ (14.8%), Verbal Memory (4.0%), Coding (2.8%), TMT-B (2.5%), Vocabulary (2.2%), Block Design (1.5%), and COWA (0%).
