Mixed factorial ANOVA (two age groups × two treatments) on AARP ratings from 79 younger and 54 older adults who read a case scenario of an older adult with PD and comorbid GAD. The article reports "a significant main effect for treatment type" favoring BRT, with F(1,131) = 14.71, p < .001, η2 = .101.

"A significant main effect for treatment type with BRT rated as more acceptable than medication ( F(1,131) = 14.71, p < .001, η2 = .101, observed power = .980)."
