The primary endpoint in the current analysis was the self reported effects and overall adverse impact of the Christchurch earthquakes as assessed by questionnaire four months after the most destructive earthquake on 22 February 2011, which was used as the index event.
With exclusive self-report, effect sizes were significant for all problem behaviors.
While decreased perceptual performance in MDA sessions could be partly due to nonspecific drug effects, we were not able to find a significant relationship between general self-report effects and impaired perceptual performance.
All self-report effects were sustained or further improved at 3 months follow-up.
The MANCOVA showed no effect of age, gender, or education across self-report effects for OC, p > .2.2
However, we used self reported outcome measures to minimise the effect of detection bias.
H05: For the Side Effects domain there will be a correlation with Side Effect Frequency/Severity (FIBSER) and/or self report overall side effects item.
Clinically significant anxiety and depression and self reported after effects assessed six weeks after colposcopy, biopsies, or large loop excision.
Moreover, self reported health effects like feeling tense, stressed, and irritable, were associated with noise annoyance and not to noise itself (OR and 95%CI > 1.0).
Indeed, many of the self reported health effects are associated with numerous issues, many of which can be attributed to anxiety and annoyance (e.g., Pedersen 2011 [ 25]).
Results of Pedersen [ 25] showed similar results: self reported health effects like feeling tense, stressed, and irritable, were associated with noise annoyance and not to noise itself.
