BDI-II CERTS: Negative Rumination subscalea
Scale and subscale Pre Post Pre Post
Note. BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory−II; CERTS = Cambridge Exeter Ruminative Thinking Scale; FFMQ = Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire; MBCT = mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
a This measure was only completed by participants in the PREVENT trial (N = 154). In the PREVENT sample, 46 participants (30%) were male and 108 (70%) female. Mean age was 52.12 years (SD = 11.18) and 152 (98.7%) of the sample were white. Ten participants (7%) had no qualifications, 23 (15%) had some General Certificate of Secondary Education/O-Level qualifications, 64 (42%) had A-Levels or vocational qualifications, 37 (24%) had a bachelor’s degree, eight (5%) had a master’s degree, and 10 (6.5%) had a doctoral degree or professional qualification. Data on education were missing for two participants.
