Neuropsychological predictors of functional outcome in Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training for older people with schizophrenia

The sample was split at the median global neuropsychological (NP) impairment T-score at baseline (T=34), and mean Comprehensive Module Test (CMT; top) and Independent Living Skills Survey (ILSS; bottom) scores at 12-month follow-up are shown for participants with mild (T>34) and severe (T<34) NP impairment in Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training (CBSST) and treatment as usual (TAU) conditions. Sample sizes for CMT: low NP/TAU (n=16); low NP/CBSST (n=15); high NP/TAU (n=14); high NP/CBSST (n=14); for ILSS: low NP/TAU (n=16); low NP/CBSST (n=14); high NP/TAU (n=14); high NP/CBSST (n=14).

Mean T-score and 95% confidence interval (error bars) for each neurocognitive domain at each assessment time point for participants in Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training (CBSST; N=31) and treatment as usual (TAU; N=32) conditions. The treatment groups did not differ significantly in any domain at any time point.
