#

Population attributable fraction represents the proportion of non-adherence that would be resolved if an intervention were to move all CES-D scores to the lowest category while holding all else constant.

+

Negative value reflects the fact that adherence was highest among those with CES-D scores corresponding to mild-moderate depressive symptoms
