a.

n = 252. Treatment group is intensive psychosocial treatment (coded 1) v. collaborative care (coded 0). Average symptoms represent mean Clinical Monitoring Form (CMF) symptoms across follow-up period prior to recovery (for those who recovered) or end of study (for those who did not recover). Number of assessments is the number of CMFs completed prior to recovery (for those who recovered) or end of study (for those who did not recover). Symptom instability is the mean square successive difference in symptoms occurring prior to recovery (for those who recovered) or end of study (for those who did not recover). The proportionality of risk assumption was not upheld for survival analyses involving number of assessments, so the time-dependent covariates (interaction terms between time and these predictors) are included in Cox regression analyses.61

b.

R2 for logistic regressions represents Nagelkerke R2 change since previous step, an estimate of the increment in variance in the probability of recovery accounted for by the predictors tested since the previous step. Change in R2 for Cox regressions represents Cox-Snell R2 change since previous step, an estimate of the relative association between survival and the predictors tested since the previous step.61
