each row represents the output of a multivariable regression model, with the cell displaying only the estimated association between internalized stigma (IARSS) and depression symptom severity (HSCL) adjusted for year of enrollment into cohort, age, gender, asset index quartile, CD4 count at baseline, educational level, and marital status.
