Note: Data come from Add Health Waves 1, 3, and 4. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Models 1-3 represent baseline models: model 1 examines depressive symptoms measured at Wave 3, model 2 examines depressive symptoms measured at Wave 4, and model 3 examines individual change in depressive symptoms from Wave 3 to Wave 4. Models 4-6 repeat the baseline models, however with the addition of interaction terms between DEB (at Wave 3) and sexual identity.

Reference is exclusively heterosexual

Measured at Wave 3

Measured at Wave 1

Reference is non-Hispanic white

Measured at Wave 3 for models 1 and 2, measured at Wave 4 for models 3 through 6.
