  2. aIn this model a multigroup approach was applied to the best fitting univariate LGCM while freely estimating the slope factor means
  3. bIn this model a multigroup approach was applied to the best fitting univariate LGCM while an equality constraint was imposed on the slope factor means
  4. ccorrelated measurement residuals among adjacent time points were not included for these linear and curvilinear models as this provided a superior fit
  5. dthe curvilinear slope in DAS-17 scores was removed from this model, as a negative residual variance was obtained for this parameter
  6. eIn this model a multigroup approach was applied to the latent difference score model while freely estimating the regression pathway linking the latent difference score of the mediator to QIDS-SR scores at the end of the interval
  7. fIn this model a multigroup approach was applied to the latent difference score model while an equality constraint was imposed on the regression pathway linking the latent difference score of the mediator to QIDS-SR scores at the end of the interval
  8. gthe correlation between pre-treatment and session 1 scores was negative in this model and was constrained to 0
  9. h the curvilinear slope in AAQ-II scores was removed from this model, as a negative residual variance was obtained for this parameter
