Unadjusted and Adjusted Odds Ratio for Four Key Social Support and Social Conflict Items Predicting Elevated Depression in Logistic Regression Analysis (n=1,047)

Item	Unadjusted OR	Adjusted OR
SS4: Are there people in your life you could turn to if you needed to borrow $10, get a ride to the doctor, or some other small immediate help?	4.86* (3.03−7.80)	2.29† (1.21−4.33)
PSC1: Do you feel that people in your life let you down by not showing you as much love and concern as you would have liked?	4.04* (3.02−5.41)	2.17* (1.51−3.11)
PSC4: Have you felt tense from arguing or disagreeing with people in your personal life?	4.01* (2.99−5.40)	2.06* (1.39−3.06)
PSC7: How often in the last month were you involved in a social interaction that was unpleasant or distressing?	3.73* (2.74−5.06)	2.22* (1.54−3.20)

OR, odds ratio; SS, social support; PSC, social conflict.

Data in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.

In multivariable analysis for adjusted odds ratios, sociodemographic variables were used as covariates and all social support and social conflict items were entered simultaneously. The entire scale is available upon request from Dr. Kerth O'Brien at obrienk@pdx.edu.
