Table 17: Categorical levels of depressive
symptoms, by demographics
Source: Hopelab/Well Being Trust Teens and Young Adults Survey,
February-March 2018. N=1,337 young people ages 14-22
Note: Superscripts are used to denote statistical significance at p<.05.
Items with no superscripts, and items that share a common superscript,
are not significantly different. Significance should be read across rows
within demographic categories. Levels of depressive symptoms are
based on respondents' scores on the Patient Health Questionnaire
(PHQ-8) Depression Scale.
