Table 2.

Attendance, retention, and treatment satisfaction by race and treatment condition.

Condition

BT (n =88) BT+E (n = 93) BT+EA (n = 102)
Attendance rate, M (SD) 0.74 (0.26) 0.73 (0.23) 0.76 (0.21)
 Black or African-American 0.66 (0.31) 0.68 (0.30) 0.75 (0.20)
 White 0.78 (0.21) 0.75 (0.19) 0.79 (0.21)
Retention rate, n (%) 75 (85%) 76 (82%) 88 (86%)
 Black or African-American 19 (79%) 20 (74%) 27 (84%)
 White 51 (86%) 53 (84%) 58 (90%)
Satisfaction, M (SD) 4.26 (0.96) 4.37 (0.99) 4.53 (0.72)
 Black or African-American 4.21 (0.97) 4.53 (0.79) 4.64 (0.57)
 White 4.23 (0.99) 4.33 (1.06) 4.52 (0.71)

Note: BT = Standard behavior therapy, BT+E = behavior therapy with environmental change, BT+EA = Acceptance-based behavior therapy with environmental change. Post-hoc analyses revealed that among African-American participants, attendance was significantly higher in BT+EA, compared to BT (p = .04), and a trend was observed for higher treatment satisfaction (p = .06).
