Means, SDs are based on coefficients and combination of coefficients from mixed effects model
Cohen’s d effect size was calculated by dividing the predicted difference in mean change from the mixed effects model by the pooled, imputed baseline SD. Negative effect size indicates a larger change in EASE compared to ETAU
Model included fixed effects of arm, time and arm X time interaction, and random effects of pt_code, siblingid, and Ease group
All participants were included in the model at all timepoints following mean imputation
*Caregiver responds only once regardless of how many children they have in the study so observations are fewer: (EASE N = 28; ETAU N = 26)
^ For this measure, an increased score indicates an improvement. For other measures, decreased scores indicate reduction in symptoms/impairment
