Social relationship correlates of major depressive disorder and depressive symptoms in Switzerland: nationally representative cross sectional study

Table 2 Correlations among social relationship variables, major depressive disorder, and depressive symptoms, Swiss health survey, 2007

Twelve-month major depressive disorder was assessed with the Composite International Diagnostic Interview short form [38]. Depressive symptoms experienced over the last two weeks were assessed with the Depression Screening Questionnaire [39]. All parametric correlations incorporated the sample weights. The correlation with depressive symptoms is Spearman’s rho. Because of the large sample size all correlations are statistically significant at p < 0.05.
