Note: Results have been adjusted for the following control variables: Age, PHQ-9 score, income, educational attainment, gender, ethnicity, availability of primary care, and relationship status.

A positive coefficient represents a more positive attitude towards antidepressant medications.

Number of observations in each regression model differs slightly from demographic data due to missing responses.
