Each odds ratio refers to a comparison between each category and reference level of the covariate (denoted by OR = 1) with respect to mood level. An OR > 1 (< 1) corresponds to participants having higher (lower) odds of improved mood when comparing a given category to the reference level. Model includes covariance terms (see Methods).
