Family-level factors
Number of co-resident adult family members*	0.34 (0.12–0.94)	0.039	1.34 (0.16–11.35)	0.789
Never married vs ever married	1.10 (0.61–1.97)	0.752	0.67 (0.20–2.19)	0.504
Mean per capita annual family income	1.00 (1.00–1.00)	0.343	1.00 (1.00–1.00)	0.124
Illness-severity factors
Age of onset	1.02 (1.00–1.04)	0.100	1.06 (1.02–1.10)	0.003
Current GAF score	0.99 (0.97–1.01)	0.513	0.97 (0.93–1.02)	0.296

*dichotomized (0 = 0–3 family members; 1 = 4 or more family members)
¹n = 200 due to missing values
²n = 80 due to missing values
Missing data were excluded for the stratified Poisson regression models for the urban (n = 80 complete cases out of 86 total cases) and rural (n = 200 complete cases out of 240 total cases) sites. The family members variable (n = 18 missing cases in the rural sites; n = 5 missing cases in the urban sites), mean family income (n = 2 missing cases in the rural sites only), age of onset (n = 23 missing cases in the rural sites; n = 5 missing cases in the urban sites) and GAF (n = 1 missing case in the rural sites only) had missing data. Treatment status and marital status did not have any missing data
