REMISSION
Of the 129 participants who received depression treatment with PST or ADT, 100 (77.5%) responded to treatment (PHQ-9 < 5) at some point during the study and remained in remission at the conclusion of treatment (or at study completion for those who remained on ADT).PHQ-9 scores at the start of treatment were significantly higher among participants who did not respond to treatment than among those who did [15.9 (SD = 4.0) vs. 14.0 (SD = 3.7), p = .018], as was the proportion of participants with severe depression (27.6% vs. 9.0%, p = .009). The response rate was significantly higher among those treated with PST (70/84; 83.3%) compared to those treated with ADT (30/45; 66.7%) (p = .031).
