Physical impairment is for the patient. Cancer stage is coded stage = −1 if stage was 0 or 1 and stage = 1 if stage was 2a, 2b, or 3a. White was coded as 1 if the patient race was white and −1 otherwise. Attended sessions was 1 if at least one partner attended more than 2 sessions and −1 otherwise. Role was coded patient = 1, spouse= −1. Condition was coded 1 = ECG, −1 = SG. All quantitative variables were grand-mean centered prior to analysis.
