Table 2. Mean (SDs) for the Within- and Between-Session SUDS Habituation and Between-Session Craving Habituation.

n Mean SD
Average within-session SUDS habituation 46 -16.74 12.37
 Average Peak SUDS 46 60.59 20.41
 Average Post SUDS 46 43.81 23.41
Early within-session SUDS habituation 46 -22.13 22.83
 Early Peak SUDS (first imaginal exposure) 46 80.44 18.37
 Early Post SUDS (first imaginal exposure) 46 58.30 27.07
Late within-session SUDS habituation 36 -8.86 13.08
 Late Peak SUDS (last imaginal exposure) 36 38.33 23.72
 Late Post SUDS (last imaginal exposure) 36 29.47 21.54
Between-session SUDS habituation 36 -40.56 26.51
Between-session craving habituation 34 -15.03 28.98

Note: SUDS = subjective units of distress. Eight participants withdrew from the study prior to session 4. Due to pressing clinical issues, the first imaginal exposure occurred during session 5 for 2 participants and during session 6 for 1 participant. Late within-session SUDS habituation and between-session SUDS habituation ratings were available for all treatment completers (n = 36). The final imaginal exposure session occurred prior to session 11 for 8 treatment completers. In these cases, ratings from the last completed imaginal exposure were used to calculate late within-session and between-session SUDS as well as between-session craving habituation. Craving ratings were not assessed for 2 participants.
