  • GLME = generalized linear mixed effects; OR = odds ratio; PHQ-9 = 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire; PSI=Parenting Stress Inventory.

  • a OR is calculated adjusting for all other variables in the table.

  • b Significant effect for intervention.

  • c Significant negative effect of high PSI score.
