n = number. * Patients rated the extent to which their social anxiety fear(s) ever interfered with their activities, and the degree to which avoidance of social anxiety-provoking situations interfered. Interference was assessed with a 4-point Likert scale (from significantly to not at all) in both cases. The sum of these two items produced the total social anxiety-related impairment score.
