All listed variables were considered for inclusion in the models. Multivariable mixed-effect linear regression models, with clinical site as a random effect, were completed with imputed datasets (M=25) for females and males. P values are for those variables retained in the final model. Pseudo-R2 values refer to the proportion of the variance in the outcome explained by the set of predictor variables.

a

Log transformed.

b

Not included in final model.

c

Clinical range based on the Beck Depression Inventory-II total raw score ≥ 17.
