Depression at Wave I and/or Wave III was based on having a CES-D score≥10 out of a total of 27.
Use of survey commands to account for stratification, clustering, and unequal selection probabilities yielded nationally representative estimates of white and black young adults.
Adjusted for age (18–20 years, 21 years, 22 years, 23 years, or 24–28 years), marital history (ever married versus never married), mother’s education (<HS graduate, HS graduate, or ≥college graduate), respondent’s functional income at Wave III (respondent or respondent’s household did not have enough money to pay rent/mortgage payment or utilities in the past year versus no problems paying housing and utilities), age at first vaginal intercourse (≤15 years, 16 years, 17–18 years, 19–25years, never had sex), Wave I self-reported STI (respondent reported diagnosis with chlamydial infection, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, genital herpes, or HIV versus no self-reported STI diagnosis), ever use of marijuana in adolescence (Wave I); ever use of crack/cocaine in adolescence (Wave I), and consumption of alcohol at least three days a week in the past 12 months in adolescence (Wave I).
