^*Significance level of 0.004.

^aFigures in parentheses are total possible points.

^br represents item-total correlation.

^cp value for ANOVA tests of item score difference among three diagnostic groups.

^dThe p value indicates the significance of the regression coefficient of education when adjusting for diagnosis.
