Comparing Adverse Life Events at T2 in Youth with and Without Major Depressive Disorder at T1

	Mean±SD			Adjusted mean (SE)
ALEs type	MDD	Non-MDD	p	MDD	Non-MDD	Test	p
Overall	8.4±5.9	4.4±3.4	0.01	7.0 (1.0)	4.8 (0.6)	F(1,73)=3.6	0.06
Dependent	5.1±3.1	2.5±2.2	<0.001	4.4 (0.6)	2.8 (0.3)	F(1,73)=5.8	0.02
Independent	3.3±3.4	1.9±2.0	0.12	2.9 (0.5)	2.1 (0.3)	F(1,76)=2.0	0.16

Adjusted means at T2 for Overall ALEs and Dependent ALEs controlled for T1 ALEs of the same types, ADHD severity, comorbid externalizing disorders, and MDD by externalizing disorder interactions. Adjusted means for Independent ALEs at T2 controlled for T1 ALEs of the same type.

MDD=major depressive disorder; SD=standard deviation; SE=standard error; T1=baseline evaluation; T2=second evaluation 8 months after baseline.
