Per group cell sizes for the overall sample were n’s=43, 21, 30 for Prenatal MDD, Preconception-only MDD, and Control, respectively; per group cell sizes for daughters were n’s=16, 10, and 16, respectively; per group cell sizes for sons were n’s=27, 11, and 14. Unstandardized regression coefficients are presented.
