Note. Higher scores indicate worse mental health. Reference category for gender = male, marital status = unmarried, welfare status = primary income source is not welfare, education level = not highly qualified, 12-month PTSD = no diagnosis, 12-month AUD = no diagnosis, daily smoking = not a daily smoker. Bolded where alpha <.01. “Don’t know” responses were coded as missing and consequently excluded.
