ANCOVA t test and corresponding Cohen’s d reflect the effect of the intervention after controlling for whether participants received any pharmacological or behavioral treatment during the intervention period. All P values were significant after using the false discovery rate method to control for family-wise error.
ANCOVA = analysis of covariance; PCL-5 = PTSD Checklist for DSM-5; PHQ-9 = Patient Health Questionnaire-9; PROMIS = Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System.
