  • Data are estimate (standard error) unless otherwise indicated.

  • Intervention–by–poverty status interaction models used multiple imputed data weighted for the sample eligible for enrollment and accounted for the design effect of the cluster randomization. A linear regression model was used for a continuous variable (presented as between-group difference) or a logistic regression model for a binary variable (presented as odds ratio [OR]), adjusted for the baseline status of the dependent variable, age, education, race/ethnicity, 12-month depressive disorder, and community; it accounted for the design effect of the cluster randomization. No significant interactions of intervention and poverty status were found for any of the outcome variables.
