  • Notes: Table tests for balance of baseline characteristics. Columns 1, 3, and 4 show the mean in the control, treatment, and nondepressed group in the baseline sample, respectively. Column 5 shows the difference in means between nondepressed and depressed groups. Columns 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 show the mean differences between treatment and control groups in the baseline sample and 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months, respectively. p-values at the bottom of the table come from the F-test of overall significance from a regression of the treatment dummy on all the baseline controls.
