    <p>Trajectories from a 3-class latent class growth model incorporating age, sex, marital status, education, income adequacy, childhood life events, chronic condition and family history of depression. The red line represents the trajectory with high prevalence of depression symptom episodes; the green line, moderate prevalence; the blue line, low prevalence.</p

    Association of time-varying neighbourhood variables with the log-odd of having an episode of depressive symptoms over the study period within each trajectory class.

    <p>All models were weighted using Statistics Canada survey weights and included age, sex, marital status, education, income adequacy, childhood life events, chronic condition and family history of depression.</p

    The year primary school tuition fees were eliminated, the expected age at primary school enrollment, and the earliest birth cohort exposed in each country.

    <p>Exposed women are those born in cohorts affected by legislative changes. Unexposed women were born in cohorts unaffected by tuition-elimination policies.</p

    1<p>Parameters are the weights actors place on various network configurations. They are the contributions to the objective function. The 95% confidence intervals quantify the precision of the estimates a score function method.</p>2<p>The basic rate parameter for friendship controls how often actors have the opportunity to change their network (add, keep, or drop a friend). Higher values indicate more network changes.</p>3<p>The outdegree parameter is the weight placed on having a friendship tie with <i>any</i> member of the social network, irrespective of the alter’s characteristics.</p>4<p>The reciprocity parameter is the weight an actor places on reciprocating alters’ friendship nominations.</p>5<p>The transitive triplets parameter is the weight an actor places on naming friends who are also named by the actor’s friend.</p>6<p>Positive values of “same” and “similarity” measures are the effects of homophily on these attributes.</p

    Respondent characteristics at baseline (Wave 1), unless otherwise noted.
