Associations with external constructs/variables of PHQ-9 sum score (left) and PHQ-9-based probable depression (right)

	PHQ-9 sum score	PHQ-9-based probable depression
	Pearson’s correlation (95% CI)	odds ratio per SD^b (95% CI)

Self-rated mood	−.54 (−.57,−.51)	0.23 (0.20,0.27)
Self-esteem	−.50 (−.59,−.39)	0.39 (0.26,0.57)
Satisfaction with life^a	−.44 (−.54,−.33)	0.45 (0.30,0.64)
Self-rated health^a	−.30 (−.33,−.26)	0.54 (0.48,0.61)
Log-income	−.14 (−.18,−.10)	0.75 (0.67,0.83)

	difference in means (95% CI)	odds ratio (95% CI)

Ever vs. never attempted suicide	2.58 (1.74,3.42)	2.11 (1.56,2.85)
Big city vs. not	−0.51 (−1.11,0.08)	0.89 (0.71,1.13)

CI = confidence interval; SD = standard deviation.

These scales were only administered to a sub-sample (n=214).

These are odds ratios of probable depression associated with one SD difference in the external variable.
