The HLQ included a total of 40 items in three SLE inventories (personal, social problems, and network) which were adapted from the List of Threatening Experiences (LTE) proposed by Brugha et al. [1985]. Based on a preliminary factor analysis, 19 items (personal and social problems) were summed to create a personal life events (PLE) factor and 11 items were summed creating a network life events (NLE) factor (see Table I). Frequency histograms are presented in Figure 1 supp. The average interval between the 12-month reporting window for SLE and the first onset of depression is 4.2 years (SD = 1.0; range 1.1–10.0) after the end of the reporting window. To allow our data to be included in future meta-analyses relevant summary statistics [Munafo et al., 2008] are presented in the Supplementary Information Table IV supp.
