Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Among participants with mild or greater baseline symptoms (T≥55), HMP produced larger distress reductions (d=-0.60) sustained at follow-up (d=-0.37). → Hirshberg Matthew J. 2022 q3 i2 Among participants with moderate or greater baseline symptoms (T≥60), distress reductions were d=-0.60 at post and d=-0.36 at follow-up. → Hirshberg Matthew J. 2022

q3 · i2 · causal · r3

Exploratory (not preregistered) subsample mixed effects models on participants with mild or greater baseline symptoms (HMP n=276, WLC n=252). "significantly larger distress reductions than WLC" that were "sustained over the three-month follow-up"; the moderate-or-greater subsample showed the same pattern.

"the HMP group reported significantly larger distress reductions than WLC over the intervention period (d=−0.60 CI [−0.78 to −0.43], p<.001). Compared to WLC, HMP group reductions were sustained over the three-month follow-up (d=−0.37 [−0.54 to −0.20], p<.001)"
