Productivity loss is defined as the combination of absenteeism (percent of time missed in the past 7 days due to health) and presenteeism (percent impairment at work in the past 7 days due to health). These measures were obtained from the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI).

The general linear model shows the relationship between PHQ-9 Scores and productivity loss adjusted for all other variable listed in the table.
