Notes: Diff.: Difference tests across racial/ethnic groups.

*

Odds ratio statistically significant after adjusting for multiple comparisons (p < 0.05/20 in the total sample; p < 0.05/60 in models with two-way interactions); BW significant difference between Black and White youth; LW significant difference between Latinx and White youth; BL significant difference between Black and Latinx youth. Four different models were estimated: One where all traditional ACEs were included simultaneously, one where traditional ACEs were included as a cumulative score, one where all expanded ACEs were included simultaneously, and one where expanded ACEs were included as a cumulative score. All models adjusted for youth age and sex, family income, parental education, and parental marital status, all measured at Wave 1.

a

Analyses in the total sample also adjusted for race/ethnicity.

b

Main effects among White, Black, and Latinx youth were derived from models that included two-way interactions between race/ethnicity and ACEs (rather than estimating separate models for each racial/ethnic group).

c

Odds ratio statistically significant at conventional levels (p < 0.05) but not after adjusting for multiple comparisons.
