All of the aboveSECTION 2: Please use the SPSS data set sample_data_FINAL_EXAM_SPRING_2014.sav(Attached) and analyze it to answer the following questions: (You need to interpret the results)BACKGROUND OF THE STUDYThe data in the dataset come from a longitudinal study of low-income women in four urban communities. In the original study, extensive information was collected in1999 from about 4,000 women. A major purpose of the study was to understand the life trajectories of these women and their children during a period of major changes tosocial policies affecting poor people in the United States. The sample was randomly selected from women who, in 1995, were single mothers receiving cash welfareassistance in the four cities. All data were collected by means of 90-minute in-person interviews in either English or Spanish in the study participants homes.Professional interviewers from a survey research firm, specially trained for this study, collected the data.Our objectives are:1- To determine the prevalence of depression and factors associated with depression among women =>19 years old.2. To determine the predictors of Mental Health Status among women =>19 years old.Questions 17 and 18 are related to objective 1 (to determine the prevalence of depression and factors associated with depression among women =>19 years old).Q17a.
