a

For each of the 12 univariate models, the outcome measure is major depressive disorder at year 20 (yes/no) and the primary predictors are the frequency of religious services attendance variable or the dichotomous social adjustment variables at year 10 run individually. Sex, age, history of depression are controlled in all models. Risk group is controlled for in the total sample analyses.

b

For each of the nine multivariate models, the outcome measure is major depressive disorder at year 20 (yes/no) and the primary predictors are the frequency of religious services attendance variable at year 10 paired with the social adjustment variables at year 10 and run simultaneously. Sex, age, history of depression, and the other dichotomous variable are controlled in both models. Risk group is controlled for in the total sample analyses.
