  2. a Logistic models were used to evaluate odds of having at least 4 months of appropriate antidepressant medications, among those who received any appropriate antidepressant (N = 2454). In addition to variables notes in table, all models also included age, sex, race and ethnicity covariates, as determined by VA administrative data. OR in bold had p < 0.05.
  3. b Logistic models were used to evaluate odds of completing at least 8 psychotherapy visits, among those who had at least 1 psychotherapy visit (group or individual; N = 2722). All models included the same set of additional variables as noted for medication models. OR in bold had p < 0.05.
  4. c Reference is No limitations.
  5. d Reference is 0 (none).
  6. e Reference is None of the time.
