a

Beta distributions assigned in probabilistic sensitivity analysis (please see above formulas for calculations of the beta distribution's parameters: α and β.

b

Standard error assumed to be the same as the one estimated for the group CBT.

c

Assumed to be the same for anxiety disorders and major depression, based on results of a study in patients with social anxiety disorder.
