Note.
Analyses controlled for gender, age, education, and baseline depressive severity.
Additional analyses examined stigma as a predictor of the outcomes reported above with patients' reports of general health as an additional covariate. Controlling for perceived general health did not substantially affect odds ratios, confidence intervals, or p–values for stigma in association with any outcome.
