N= 952 women (27,130 weekly journals). Results are adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) from univariate, full and reduced multi-level, mixed-effects logistic regression models estimating effect of moderate/severe depression symptoms on the odds of sexual intercourse each week, controlling for a random effect for the woman and number of number of journals completed. P-values (P) significant for two-tailed alpha at <0.05*, <0.01**, and <0.001***; ^p-value marginal at p<0.10. Depression and background covariates were measured at baseline.
