Note. Values represent correlation coefficients and 95% confidence intervals.

For the depression sample, n=732 provided data on the depression severity measure (the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression).

Participants from the Toronto site, n = 658, provided anxiety symptom data on the SCID (Structural Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders). Anxiety symptoms were quantified as the total count of symptoms endorsed in Section F: Anxiety Disorders. Because the distribution of the data was non-normal, values represent Spearman's rank order correlations.

For the community sample, n=1276 provided data on the depression severity measure (the Beck Depression Inventory). Bolded values are statistically significant at p<0.05.
