Data are percentage point changes with 95% CIs in parentheses. Each coefficient comes from a separate regression model. All models were adjusted for the confounders of age, age-squared, gender, marital status, employment status, rural-urban, whether you have friends or family you can count on, satisfaction with friendships, and gross domestic product per capita adjusted for inflation and purchasing power. SEs are clustered at the country level.
