CI = confidence interval; NSDUH = National Survey on Drug Use and Health; OR = odds ratio; SE = standard error; US = United States. Odds ratios are for past-year depression, versus no past-year depression. Logistic regressions were applied to examine the time trend within each particular group. An odds ratio greater than one indicated a significant trend for the prevalence of depression among each smoking category to increase during 2005–2013, and p-value for t tests showed the significance of time trends. Adjusted models: adjusted for age (12–17 years old, 18–25 years old, 26 years old or older) gender (male, female), total annual family income (<$20 000, $20 000–$74 999, ≥$75 000), nicotine dependence (yes, no), and cigarettes per day (1–5 cigarettes per day, 6–15 cigarettes per day, 16 or more cigarettes per day). Bold signifies p < .05.

a

2005 as reference year.

b

p-value for t test when beta = 0.

c

Differential time trend among all smoking categories—slope over time differed by smoking status (non-daily, daily, and lifetime never-smokers), an interaction term between year and smoking was included in the regression.

d

Differential time trend—slope over time differed by smoking status (non-daily vs. daily smokers), an interaction term between year and smoking was included in the regression.

e

Differential time trend—slope over time differed by smoking status (non-daily vs. lifetime never-smokers), an interaction term between year and smoking was included in the regression.
