See the model in the supplementary materials covering multivariate model construction (Supplementary Tables 1, 2). Model‐based AUC values were 0.78 [SE = 0.03] for depression onset. Cross‐validated AUC values were 0.73 [SE = 0.04].

b

Sensitivity = proportion of depression cases found among the row % of respondents at highest predicted risk, based on cross‐validated predicted probabilities.

c

Positive predictive value (PPV) = probability of effectively developing a depression when being among the row % at highest predicted risk, based on cross‐validated predicted probabilities.
