Per group cell sizes for the overall sample were n’s=48, 26, 40 for Prenatal MDD, Preconception-only MDD, and Control, respectively; per group cell sizes for daughters were n’s =18, 15, and 23, respectively; per group cell sizes for sons were n’s=30, 11, and 17. Unstandardized regression coefficients are presented.
