Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; MDD, major depressive disorder; OR, odds ratio.
Indicates percentage of completed cellular telephone calls on which individuals were using that particular media type.
Calculated using the Mann-Whitney test.
For logistic regression controlling for race, sex, and age. For these analyses, the independent variable was the particular media type (eg, watching television or movies) divided into quartiles. Thus, ORs represent the odds of having MDD for each increasing quartile of exposure.
Calculated using a nonparametric test for trend.
Includes magazine, newspaper, and/or book use.
