  1. Means, SDs are based on coefficients and combination of coefficients from mixed effects model
  2. 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
  3. Model included fixed effects of arm, time and arm X time interaction, and random effects of pt_code, siblingid, and Ease group
  4. All participants were included in the model at all timepoints following mean imputation
  5. ^ For this measure, an increased score indicates an improvement. For other measures, decreased scores indicate reduction in symptoms/impairment
