Note: Fathers’ and mothers’ percentages for Years 1, 3, and 5 are of eligible baseline mothers. All percentages exclude 109 of the 4,898 total families that are followed, because these are not part of the national or city samples but were originally included as part of a separate study. The 109 are not included in any of our analytic samples. See Reichman and colleagues (2001) for sampling details and the following documentation for more information: http://fragilefamilies.princeton.edu/sites/fragilefamilies/files/ff_public_guide_0to5.pdf.
