He says without any bias or conflicts of interest ☺️ (fr tho you had such a cool and wide-ranging set of clinical programming!)

And a timely potential pathway (although comparing White vs Black participants, rather than men and women)!

Omg I didn’t even know what the one I picked out of the bag was! Some kind of green plastic 🌀 that seemed like a cake decoration?
All I could think of was change in therapy spiraling out from what happens in sessions to between sessions to beyond treatment 🤷🏻♂️

I think it’s been quieter these past couple years because we haven’t wanted to fangirl too hard! 😇
@kesmith.bsky.social & I usually race each other on Tuesdays to see who can listen to and reference each episode first. Then she tells her tennis instructor about them & they’re floored! 🎾😲

Nice! Do you all have the range of correlations between the expectancy and concern factors across your samples? I didn’t see it in the paper itself (tho I might’ve just read too quickly and missed it)

Or we may need to explore what processes of change work best for people from different backgrounds...
Preprint here! And coming out in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

We think these results suggest that people with different racial/ethnic backgrounds use different processes of change in the UP, at least with primarily white therapists.
If we want folks to use skills, we may need to modify how we delivery them to make them more relevant.

Now, racial/ethnic identity did *not* moderate the within-person relations between task agreement/skillfulness and session-to-session symptom change (maybe a power issue, maybe a true null).

Where we *did* find differences were in changes specifically in task agreement (from the working alliance inventory) 🤝 and skillfulness 🛠️, with white patients reporting steeper improvements in both than patients of color across the first 6 sessions.

Replicating previous work, we did *not* find significant differences in the slopes of change in anxiety 😬 or depression 😔 between white patients & patients of color, although the group differences in anxiety change were nearly significant: B = .27, SE = .15, p = .08. 👀

Because of those percentages, for statistical power we dichotomized our sample into white patients/patients of color, with clear caveats about the limitations regarding generalizability, applicability to different populations, etc.

We looked at this in the first 6 sessions of our UP SMART among 70 adults with anxiety & mood disorders:
- 74% white (n = 52)
- 13% Black (n = 9)
- 4% East Asian (n = 3)
- 3% Latinx (n = 2)
- 3% South Asian (n = 2)
- 3% Arab-American/Middle Eastern (n = 2)
