A group of Maternal and Child Health public health practitioners are interested in the relationship between depression and a number of health outcomes. Suppose the research team gathers information on a group of participants, and constructs a multiple linear regression model looking at the relationship between depression and household income dichotomized as above and below the federal poverty line controlling for a number of potential confounders. The following is a computerized output displaying the results of their analysis.
