Bold entries indicate statistically strong associations (Spearman |R|0.3). All entries with |R|0.1 were statistically significant (p<0.0001). We used the nine QIDS domains rather than the 16 items, because depression is clinically assessed in this way. Each of the items of the weekly questionnaires is presented as a sentence to participants; we present these as words here to facilitate comparisons. The MZ factors were determined using the PCA loadings computed in Table 2.
