Table 7: Immediate effect size for targeted RADQ items based on severity.

Severity	Pre Average	Post Average	P value	Effect size	Cohen’s d
Mild	19.2 ± 6.7	10.3 ± 7.7	<0.01	0.52	1.23	Large
Moderate	31.1 ± 4.1	19.0 ± 10.1	<0.001	0.62	1.58	Large
Severe	39.6 ± 5.5	20.1 ± 12.1	<0.001	0.49	1.15	Large
Very Severe	47.5 ± 5.3	27.4 ± 14.0	<0.001	0.68	1.89	Large

In addition to examining critical items on the RADQ, state trait scores were also evaluated Table (8). Reduction on this anxiety scale was significant for all participants. The calculated effect size and Cohen’s d showed a medium effect.
