Table 3.

Study cohort characteristics with respect to the two groups.

Gray Healthy Controls Subjects with DT Statistical Significance
n (total = 25) 14 11 N.A.
sessions (total = 37513) 20556 16957 n.s. (p = 0.98)
sessions per day (std) 66.46 (42.54) 55.14 (50.08) n.s. (p = 0.49)
Demographics
Women # (%) 6 (42.86%) 4 (36.36%) n.s. (p = 0.77)
Men # (%) 8 (57.14%) 7 (63.64%) n.s.(p = 0.77)
Avg. Age (std) 23.86 (4.44) 23.55 (3.24) n.s. (p = 1.00)
Subjects who completed Education Level H/U #/# 10/4 9/2 n.s. (p = 0.55)
Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) score
Avg. PHQ-9 (std) 2.29 (1.73) 10.64 (3.47) sig. (p < 0.001)

The two groups formed by subjects with/without depressive tendency were fairly matched in terms of demographics, with no statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) observed, except for the PHQ-9 score, which was the criterion for the subject categorization. Statistical significance was computed using the two-sided Mann-Whitney U test. N.A.: not applicable; sig.: significant; n.s.: non-significant.
