a

Hazard ratio estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression calculating time-at-risk from enrollment to delivery, and adjusting for site as a covariate

b

evaluated by Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ9), a score >5 indicating at least moderate depressive symptoms

c

level 1,2,3,4 indicating secure, mild, moderate, severe

d

evaluated by Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) survey, median of 64 among 235 women enrolled at <20 weeks and median of 63 among 517 women enrolled at <28 weeks

e

including genital infection, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, candidiasis, cervicitis.

In models adjusting for site and VL at enrollment, the association between SB and depression remained similar (adjusted HR [aHR] 2.93, 95%CI 1.04–8.23), as did the association between late SB and lower social support score (aHR 11.74, 95%CI 2.47–55.86).
