Notes: Adj M = mean adjusted for ANCOVA model covariates, SD = standard deviation, d = effect size (difference in adjusted mean/square root of mean square error) with a positive effect size indicating the difference favors the PFR condition. ANCOVA models adjust for baseline score, age of child, whether multiple removals, and time between baseline and the given follow-up assessment.
