^a The depression sample is from the NIH Characterization and Treatment of Depression Study ²³
^b Anxiety diagnoses were determined by clinician assessment via the K-SADS-PL. Depression diagnoses were based on clinician-assessed “Participant Type” via the K-SADS-PL since diagnosis could have changed from sub-MDD subthreshold Major Depressive Disorder to MDD Major Depressive Disorder throughout research and treatment; SCARED Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders; PARS Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale; MFQ Mood and Feelings Questionnaire
^c The number of subjects varied across analyses; the respective N for each analysis is reported in the text
^d Symptom levels based on clinician-report measures
