Per group cell sizes for the overall sample were n’s=57, 36, 46 for Prenatal MDD, Preconception-only MDD, and Control, respectively; per group cell sizes for daughters were n’s =21, 18, and 24, respectively; per group cell sizes for sons were n’s=36, 18, and 22. Unstandardized regression coefficients are presented.
