Note: Table represents the final step of the model. Table reports unstandardized coefficients (b) with standard errors (SE) in parentheses. Each block of estimates represents separate models for each outcome. All models control for covariates.
*
p is the p-value estimated for each model. Given the number of models estimated, the Bonferroni-adjusted p-value (0.001) is recommended to evaluate statistical significance.
