Supplementary notes

Note: For the analysis original questions asked: “How often do you feel depressed? Would you say daily, weekly, monthly, a few times a year, or never?” and “Thinking about the last time you felt depressed, how depressed did you feel? Would you say a little, a lot, or somewhere in between a little and a lot?”

For the results an adult was considered having feelings of depression if they report “daily” feelings of depression “a lot” of the time, “daily” feelings of depression “somewhere in between a little and a lot of the time,” or “weekly” feelings of depression “a lot” of the time.

The number of adults and children under 18 living in the home determined the living arrangements. If an adult lived alone and there were no children under the age of 18, that person was considered to be living alone.
