Adjusted Poisson regression models predicting maternal feeding practices from maternal depressive symptoms ¹

Outcome		Relative rate (95% CI)
Laboratory eating interactions 2
Encouragements	Familiar foods	1.13 (0.85, 1.49)
	Unfamiliar foods	0.93 (0.70, 1.24)
Discouragements	Familiar foods	0.81 (0.52, 1.26)
	Unfamiliar foods	1.22 (0.73, 2.05)

¹Adjusted for: child sex, food fussiness, number of older siblings; and maternal age, BMI, education, race/ethnicity, single parent status, perceived child weight, and concern about child weight. All models are comparing mothers with elevated depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D) score ≥16) to mothers with lower levels of depressive symptoms (CES-D score < 16).
