Number of observations in the analytic sample from TATAMS Waves 11–14 among n = 2629 participants

b

Multivariate ordinal logistic regression models for symptoms of depression and anxiety outcomes also adjusted for sex, time (i.e. survey wave) and cohort (i.e. grade at Wave 14). Individual was specified as the random intercept for each multivariate model. Odds ratios were modeled over lower severity

c

Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9): “Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?”; response options: 0 (not at all), 1 (several days), 2 (more than half the days), 3 (nearly every day). Categories 0–4: minimal, 5–9: mild, 10–14: moderate, 15–19: moderately severe, 20 + : severe

d

General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7): “Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?”; response options: 0 (not at all), 1 (several days), 2 (more than half the days), 3 (nearly every day). Scores 0–4: none, 5–9: mild, 10–14: moderate, 15–21: severe

e

Non-Hispanic Other race and ethnicity includes Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or Other

f

SES: Well-off includes ‘very well-off’ and ‘living comfortably’; Poor includes ‘just getting by’, ‘nearly poor’, and ‘poor’
