Outcome measure is risk tolerance, which measures the total number of risky choices (out of 30). Outcome measure is standardized to mean 0 and standard deviation 1; Binary measures for mood are constructed with the following clinically relevant thresholds: “severely” depressed (QIDS-A17 ≥ 16), “severely” anxious (K10 ≥ 30), and “Level 1 (Type 1)” for SPHERE-12 (PSYCH ≥ 2 and SOMA ≥ 3). Coefficients are obtained from a regression of risk tolerance on age, gender, mood state, and Session 2. Standard errors are calculated using the Huber/White method.
