Supplementary Table 1. Final screening items selected for group classification.
Note: All items were selected from a list in the Comprehensive Pain and Symptom
Questionnaire (CPSQ) under the question “Do you have any of the following conditions or symptoms” except for the followings:
a
Presence of “frequent or multiple types of headaches” was based on self-reported headache frequency “every week or so” or “more than once every week” from the
Pennebaker Inventory for Limbic Languidness questionnaire, or the presence of 2 or more different types of headaches in the past year from the Comprehensive Pain and Symptom Questionnaire.
b
Presence of poor sleep quality was based on question “During the last month, how would you rate your sleep quality overall?” from Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The presence of poor sleep quality was “yes” if rated “fairly bad” or “very bad”, and “no” if rated “good” or
“fairly good”.
c
Presence of “feeling low in energy” was based on a question “check the response that best describes how much that problem has distressed or bothered you during the past 7 days including today - feeling low in energy or slowed down” from Symptom Checklist – 90R.
Individuals reported on a 5-category scale (not at all, a little bit, moderately, quite a bit, and extremely). Presence of low in energy was “yes” if an individual reported “quite a bit” or
“extremely”, and otherwise was “no”.
