Note: B-S = between-session, PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder, SUDS = Subjective Units of Distress Scale, W-S = within-session.
p < .05,
p < .01,
p < .001.
The interaction between Session2 and the level two predictor only improved model fit for the model with Early W-S SUDS. Reduced models without this fixed effect were retained for all other models.
