We cannot comment yet on the effect of medical illness because we are in the process of retrieving data from the medical records of the participating primary care clinics. However, we measured role impairment at baseline using the 36-item Short-Form health survey subscales of role emotional and role physical, and found significant interaction effects such that both subscales predicted drop out from face-to-face CBT (role emotional: odds ratio, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.02-1.17], P <.05; role physical: odds ratio, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.01-1.22], P <.05) but were unrelated to T-CBT drop out.1
