Meta-regression coefficients from the indicator model on the change in major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders logit prevalences over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020

	Major depressive disorder		Anxiety disorders
	B (95% UI)	p value	B (95% UI)	p value
Decreasing human mobility	0·9 (0·1 to 1·8)	0·029	0·9 (0·1 to 1·7)	0·022
Daily SARS-CoV-2 infection rate*	18·1 (7·9 to 28·3)	0·0005	13·8 (10·7 to 17·0)	<0·0001
Daily excess mortality rate*†	0·0 (−122·6 to 122·6)	>0·9999	0·0 (−112·5 to 112·5)	>0·9999

All indicators included in the model simultaneously and therefore control for each other. UI=uncertainty interval.

^*Square-root transformed before analysis to correct for positive skew (appendix pp 6–7).

^†Bayesian directional prior specified due to strong collinearity with other indicators.
