Notes. Only statistically significant factors are reported. All models were survey weighted, and adjusted for age and education, in addition to the variables listed in the table. Psychotherapy was retained in the model for pregnant women and antidepressant risk perception, as its removal changed the beta coefficients of retained variable substantially.
AD, antidepressant; N.S, non-significant statistically.
