1 week postintervention, pretest versus 8 weeks post-intervention, or 1 week versus 8 weeks postintervention.
Participants in both the intervention group and the
usual care group reported a range of depressive symp-toms that were classified as mild to moderate and, in
one case, severe. Mean scores on the BDI-II ranged
from 5.29 to 11.29 over the course of the study. A
score between the ranges of 0 and 9 indicates minimal
depression, but a score between the range of 10 and
18 indicates mild depression (Beck et al., 1996).
