All numbers, except subgroup n, are weighted to account for complex survey design.
High depressive symptomatology was defined as CESD10 ≥ 10.
High trait anxiety stymptomology was defined as STAI10 greater than or equal to sex-specific quartile (22 for women, 19 for men).
All estimates are adjusted for age, sex, education, income, Hispanic background, field center, and nativity.
