A1C, diet, physical activity, and medication adherence are dependent variables in separate hierarchical multiple regression equations. Each was run twice: PHQ8 was entered into Step 2 as either a binary or a continuous variable. Step 1 data are the same in both analyses with the same dependent variable.
