Linear time coefficients resulting from Generalised Estimating Equations regression analyses on the outcome variable HADS-D, adjusting for student year of entry, presented with 95% CIs

	Men	Women
Core Science component students
Depression (HADS-D)
Time coefficients (95% CI)	0.20 (−0.03 to 0.43)	−0.11 (−0.31 to 0.08)
Clinical component students
Depression (HADS-D)
Time coefficients (95% CI)	0.33 (0.11 to 0.55)	0.17 (−0.04 to 0.39)

All results were similar after removal of outliers more than three SD from the mean.
