Table 6 provides the results of a quantile regression analysis that was used to assess the effects of perceived stress (PSS) on depression (PHQ 9) and the effects of depression (PHQ 9) on alcohol use disorders (AUDIT) in terms of gender and income characteristics. In the first step, it is appropriate to focus on the effects of the PSS score on the PHQ 9 score. Based on the results, the significance was confirmed in all of the analysed relations. The independent variable (PSS) showed values with a positive coefficient. Accordingly, an increase in the PHQ score can be expected as the PSS score increases.
