a

Results of the negative binomial portion of the zero-inflated negative binomial model, fit among those with a non-zero total depression scale score; the same covariates were significantly associated with having a non-zero depression scale score in the logistic regression model portion of the zero-inflated negative binomial models as in the negative binomial portion, with the following exceptions: female gender and educational attainment of high school or lower was significantly associated with a non–zero depression score in all 3 adjusted logistic regression models, while average or below average household income was not associated with depression in adjusted models 2 and 3; being traditionally religious was associated with a non-zero depression score in adjusted model 1.
