The minimal attenuation between the individual‐level effect for legal status and co‐twin within‐pair effects indicates minimal genetic and shared environmental confounding. Param. = parameter; Int. = intercept; B = unstandardized regression parameter estimate; 95% CI = confidence interval; P = exact P‐value.
