p value is statistically significant after FDR procedure.
Note. PTGI scores were assessed pre-HCT and 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-HCT. All models covaried for time since transplant, age, and gender. Social support and coping strategies scores were standardized. Therefore, coefficients represent change in PTGI score for each one standard deviation change in coping strategy or social support measure.
