  1. The table presents the baseline and post-test scores for the full sample and the three experimental groups (AT, A and T) for the four outcome measures: the Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), the Hamilton Assessment of Depression Scale (HAM-D), the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) and the Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T). Mean scores and standard deviations (SD) are given for each group. Baseline differences between groups are analysed, with p-values given to indicate statistical significance. For HAM-D, a significant baseline difference was observed (p = .002). Post-test results show between-group variation, reflecting the effect of interventions on these scores.
