Figure. Association of Participation in Team Sports With Depression, Current Depressive Symptoms, and Anxiety Among Males and Females.

Sample weights have been applied. Overlapping 95% CIs demonstrate no statistically significant difference between the effect sizes for males vs females. Data were adjusted for age in wave 1, race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, black, Hispanic, and Asian, Native American, or other), sex, parental education (high school or less, some college, and college graduate or more), family structure (2 parents, single mom, and single dad or other), gap in health insurance between wave 1 and wave 4, region, and school characteristics (public or private and mean daily attendance). Depression was defined as having received a diagnosis of depression; current depressive symptoms, a score of 10 or higher on the 10-item subscale of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale; and anxiety, having received a diagnosis of anxiety.
