Depression ascertained based on Patient Health Questionnaire –9 score of ≥ 10.
Data are presented as percentage (standard error of percentage) unless otherwise specified. Percentages for any given characteristic may not sum to 100% because figures reflect weighted estimates.
Numbers reported are the raw numbers of participants and corresponding weighted frequencies after applying sampling weights.
Self-reported by participants or their surrogates.
Participants with both private insurance and Medicare were categorized as having private insurance. Those with both Medicare and Medicaid were categorized as having Medicare.
Poverty was defined using the poverty-ratio index (ratio of family income to the local poverty threshold), by which an index of <100% denotes poverty.
