*Test–retest estimates were calculated as the Pearson correlation coefficients relating weekly scores generated during screening Week 1 (Days − 13 to − 7) and screening Week 2 (Days − 6 to 0)
†Test–retest estimates were calculated as the Pearson correlation coefficients relating weekly scores generated during Study Week 7 and Week 8 (last two weeks of the washout period)
