Notes: aRespondents were classified under MDD if they reported Moderate Depression or greater (PHQ-9 ≥ 10) and a self-reported physician diagnosis of depression. bSHAPS was surveyed among respondents with Moderate Depression or greater and a self-reported physician diagnosis of depression. Prevalence weights were produced using UN population estimates for Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Taiwan.
