Variables are shown as mean ± standard deviation or number (percentage)
*All listed DAWBA bands refer to individuals at high-risk (defined by DAWBA bands = 3, 4, or 5) of, e.g., general band, depression, and panic disorder
**Two-tailed Student’s t test for continuous variables and chi-square test for categorical variables (likelihood ratio). Significant p values are written in bold and italics
Individuals with depression DAWBA band risk scores <15% were considered at low-risk for depression; individuals with depression DAWBA level bands 3 (≈ 15%), 4 (≈ 50%), or 5 (> 70%) were considered at high-risk for depression
