Note: ANCOVA analysis for depression symptoms included the following variables as covariates: age, years of education, religiosity, per capita income, self-esteem and presence of machismo.

^*At baseline, self-esteem and presence of machismo were significantly related to depression symptoms (F(1, 392) = 154.32, p < .01 and (F(1, 392) = 26.12, p < .01) respectively).

^**At 3 months follow up, the covariates years of education (F(1, 392) = 12.8, p < .01), self-esteem (F(1, 392) = 45.52, p < .01) and machismo (F(1, 392) = 15.26, p < .01) were significantly related to depression symptoms.
