^aUnderlying item scores are dichotomized. Symptom rated as present if frequency was ‘often’ or ‘nearly always,’ and distress rated as present if score was ‘quite’ or ‘very’ in combination with frequency at least ‘often.’

Bold font denotes statistical significance after Bonferroni correction, considering p < 0.013 as significant for the total score and three CAPE dimensions (p < 0.05/4 tests) and p < 0.017 as significant for the three subdimensions (p < 0.05/3 t-tests).
