- *For three participants, the highest and second-highest strength had the same value, so both symptoms were listed under the highest strength. For two of these participants, the symptoms with the same value were skipmeal and cogrestraint. For one of these participants, the symptoms with the same value were iuc and selfcrit. **For one participant, the second-highest and third-highest strength had the same value, so both symptoms (feelineffectve and shame) were listed under second-highest strength.
