Abbreviations: coef = coefficient; CI = confidence interval; SE = standard error; DF = degrees of freedom.

a

Negative value indicates presence (or greater amount) of component associated with larger effect size.

b

Variation in df reflects outcome measures included in studies and/or missing treatment length/duration.

c

One tailed for exposure and relaxation, two tailed for others. Values <.05 are in bold.

d

Group analysis does not include combined format. Parent involvement combines separate and combined.
