Furthermore, data analysis using univariate analysis with a statistical test, namely the chi square test to determine the existence of a relationship between the data taken and the risk of depression. The results of the Chi-Square test showed a value of p = 0.016 (p < 0.05), so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between age and the incidence of depression in the respondents. The results of the Chi-Square test showed a value of p = 0.026 (p < 0.05), so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between education level and the incidence of depression in the respondents.
