We could treat time as either discrete or continuous. Within a discrete framework, time values are defined as distinct time periods or measurement occasions; in this study, pretreatment, post-treatment, 6-month follow-up and long-term follow-up  measurements were categorised into four separate assessment occasions irrespective of the actual duration since baseline. The alternative approach, treating time as continuous, would have meant that the time variable would range over the complete duration of the study (ie, 1492?days). We acknowledge that there are benefits with both approaches. For example, it could be argued that developing a model using a continuous time variable might be more exact and mathematically tractable. On the other hand, it might be easier to understand and interpret a model that corresponds to how the theoretical hypothesis to be tested is expressed (eg, to understand the degree of symptomatic  improvement at long-term follow-up). Ultimately, we chose a discrete time framework in order to facilitate the development and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNAT2 GNAT2] interpretation of the multilevel model. In sum, this study demonstrates that ICBT for the treatment of SAD in regular clinical practice is effective not only in the short term but also in the long term. Patients also reported significant reductions in comorbid depressive symptoms and improved quality of life. Furthermore, higher severity of illness was related to a greater rate of symptomatic improvement, whereas having a family history of social anxiety was associated with worse response. Considering that SAD is one of the most common anxiety disorders, and that access to CBT is rather limited, ICBT could significantly increase the availability of evidence-based effective treatments for a large patient group.
