Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval. All models were adjusted for age (in years at wave 1), state, caste (wave 1), education level (wave 1), and household income quintile (wave 1). Model with depressive symptoms as the outcome were additionally adjusted for PHQ score (wave 1), while models with contemplated suicide or attempted as the outcomes were respectively adjusted for contemplated suicide (wave 1) and attempted suicide (wave 1).
