Results in bold are statistically significant.
Model A = Unadjusted Prevalence Ratio (PR)
Model B = Adjusted Prevalence Ratio (aPR)
Variables included in the models: age, income, education, foreign born, marital status, race/ethnicity, parity, and objective stress.
Variables included in the models identical to * above with addition of CES-D (<23 vs ≥23).
